Does it mean that my 'Guillemot Force Feedback racing wheel' is directly supported?

The Linux kernel read the device info from the device and (I'm not 100% sure) it looks like it's being supported as an Xbox 360 pad (unless you had one of those connected too).

Did you try it?

I did connected also a xb360 pad, so it's normal it's recognized.

Not sure if atrac17 could give some light over this?
