Problems with G923 PS4/PC

[dasj19]

Hello, I installed the 0.4.0 version of the driver on my NixOS system. I also tried a manual install of the code in master branch on a Ubuntu system, The results are the same. I can get the weel recognized by oversteer and gamepad-tool but not by frontends like retroarch or emulationstation (ES-DE).

ES-DE does not recognize a "game pad" device connected.
retroarch displays an error at startup, verbose log follows:

[INFO] [udev]: Pad #0 (/dev/input/event7) supports force feedback.
[INFO] [udev]: Pad #0 (/dev/input/event7) supports 16 force feedback effects.
[INFO] [Autoconf]: Logitech G923 Racing Wheel for PlayStation 4 and PC (1133/49766) not configured.
[INFO] [Joypad]: Found joypad driver: "udev".
[INFO] [DBus]: Suspended screensaver via DBus.
[INFO] [Video]: Found display server: "x11".

More details:
Tried on kernel 6.1 and 6.10, no difference.

I have no idea what I am missing.
I tried connecting the wheel via an USB hub and directly.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

It looks fine. I guess it's a configuration issue in the apps. They're probably looking for something that resembles a gamepad, or maybe they use presets, and they have no preset for a wheel.

There was an SDL app that could create a configuration line so that SDL could use any USB device as an XBox controller. This way, apps wouldn't need a preset.
