I was getting no response from racing simulators through Wine, but native linux test tools worked fine. It seems that many real-world applications will send 0 as the replay length, which was resulting in the behavior I was experiencing (nothing). It makes sense to interpret 0 as an infinite effect and therefore set the replay length of the effect to 0xffff. While the PID document does not explicitly state that 0 should be infinite, it does hint toward null values being interpreted as infinite. > > --- > > diff --git a/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-pidff.c b/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-pidff.c > index 3b4ee21cd811..70653451c860 100644 > --- a/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-pidff.c > +++ b/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-pidff.c > @@ -301,7 +301,7 @@ static void pidff_set_effect_report(struct pidff_device *pidff, > pidff->block_load[PID_EFFECT_BLOCK_INDEX].value[0]; > pidff->set_effect_type->value[0] = > pidff->create_new_effect_type->value[0]; > - pidff->set_effect[PID_DURATION].value[0] = effect->replay.length; > + pidff->set_effect[PID_DURATION].value[0] = effect->replay.length == 0 ? 0xffff : effect->replay.length; > pidff->set_effect[PID_TRIGGER_BUTTON].value[0] = effect->trigger.button; > pidff->set_effect[PID_TRIGGER_REPEAT_INT].value[0] = > effect->trigger.interval; > > -- > > - Paul > Hi, This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman. You have sent him a patch that has triggered this response. He used to manually respond to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was created. Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux kernel tree. You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s) as indicated below: - Your patch is malformed (tabs converted to spaces, linewrapped, etc.) and can not be applied. Please read the file, Documentation/email-clients.txt in order to fix this. - Your patch does not have a Signed-off-by: line. Please read the kernel file, Documentation/SubmittingPatches and resend it after adding that line. Note, the line needs to be in the body of the email, before the patch, not at the bottom of the patch or in the email signature. - You did not specify a description of why the patch is needed, or possibly, any description at all, in the email body. Please read the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the kernel file, Documentation/SubmittingPatches for what is needed in order to properly describe the change. - You did not write a descriptive Subject: for the patch, allowing Greg, and everyone else, to know what this patch is all about. Please read the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the kernel file, Documentation/SubmittingPatches for what a proper Subject: line should look like. If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received from other developers. thanks, greg k-h's patch email bot

Also, the formatting is weird here. -srw
