hay guys the misses got me my first steering wheel for Christmas , and ive been trying to get working for 3 hours with no luck. Im not going to setup my vm for awhile so i would like to run it natively I found this https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid/ which i think is a key to get it working is hidden away there. But im not going to lie my knowledge on linux is quite bare. so pls explain as much as you can so i can learn.
my specs are Release 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) 64-bit
i dont think you need the rest but just in case im running
Kernel Linux 4.2.0-19-generic x86_64
MATE 1.10.2
16 gib ram
i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz × 4
thanks guys for your time i appreciate it, i know your busy .
it looks like support for that is only just added, there's nothing "safe and easy" to recommend, but here is something to try:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc6-wily/
But here is the warning about these files:

hay thanks for the reply .
The kernel didn't seem to work for me. But maybe i didn't install it right , i just downloaded linux-image-4.4.0-040400rc6-generic_4.4.0-040400rc6.201512202030_amd64.deb and ran it. so ive rolled back to 4.2.0
Just did a quick test, I forgot to tell you to install the headers too, you'll probably need that for graphics modules.
Remove the kernel (probably done), then install the kernel and headers on the same line, eg. dpkg -i linux-image-blah linux-headers-blah
Or you could remove any proprietary drivers before testing the new kernel, I cant be certain that your GPU drivers support 4.4 for example.
