Ok I've installed Ubuntu 14
The Logitech g27 works great
Thanks Maito

I've tried the fanatec csr but get g27 not found tried the g25 config copied from Windows partioin
Still no g27 found
I edited the config can run stuff on ps4 but no force feed back though
I think that in Ubuntu the fanatec isn't detected as a Logitech g25,
But as I'm not familiar with Linux I'm not sure if there's anything I can do
When I was editing the config if I selected auto detect and pressed a button it said
HID 046d:c299 then the button number
As my fanatec is built into my arcade machine that I use for my Xbox 360
To get the ps4 working without disconnecting
I'll buy a FT232RL-based adapter
And test that
Thanks again
I've just done some more testing
Used lsusb
I does show Logitech g25

Configs are not cross-platform. Did you replace all the bindings?

Hi Maito
Thanks for your reply
There wasn't a g25 config in Ubuntu like there is in Windows
So I used the g27 config then selected edit config and
It said no g27 found
Modify each button
Selecting auto detect and pressing a button on the wheel

Sorry for being a pain

Hi,
The problem is that the Fanatec Csr does not provide manufacturer and product strings as the G25 does.
I'll make a test package as soon as I can.
