On the other hand, I tried the current stable, and it detects my joystick on Linux, which is the minimum that I need, so I have started to integrate OIS. Force feedback doesn't work, but apparently that's related to the lack of support in the Linux kernel, but I will investigate more.
I don't really aim to have force feedback for the first release, these things are always a work in progress... but I'll let you people know when I make the first release, and from there I'll try to work on whatever issues there is with force feedback.
