Please enable Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2

Help and Support Vero V
1

Hi,

I have a pair of Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2 I’d very much like to use with my Vero V. Unfortunately it looks like there’s no support in the kernel (they work fine on my regular Linux laptop). Would it be possible to add CONFIG_LOGIRUMBLEPAD2_FF on the next build ? (And if it could release this year, that’d be perfect).

Side question: why don’t you directly enable all reasonable input devices ?

I have that I believe and it works fine… on a rpi4

Yes, it works fine on Linux but I guess the Vero V kernel misses the corresponding option. This already happened for other devices.

Because I don’t know what’s reasonable in complete honesty. And sometimes the driver can be outdated or an upstream version is more modern / reliable. I believe this is the case with XPad.

You’re the first person to request this module.

I’ve added it.

Hopefully the issue is now addressed with the following commit:

I’d appreciate it if you could test this and provide feedback before we potentially release this as an update to other users. To test this update:

  1. Login via the command line
  2. Run the following command to add the staging repository:
    echo 'deb http://apt.osmc.tv bullseye-devel main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list
  3. Go to My OSMC → Updater → Manual Controls → and select Check for Updates now. When prompted to do so on screen, please choose to install the update.
  4. Your system should have have received the update.

Please see if the issue is resolved.

I also recommend you remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list after updating.

This will deactivate the staging repository. You can do so with the following command:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list.

Please note that we will automatically disable this update channel after 14 days on your device in case you forget to do so to ensure that your system reverts to the stable update channel.
