Here is how to enable force feedback on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bits kernels (should also work on 32 bits ones):

==For the G25 owners==
If you use a G25 wheel, you need to patch your kernel to be able to use it in its native mode
First create a patch file named G25.patch for the kernel ( patches for 2.6.27 and 2.6.28 are provided ).

==Enabling force feedback in the kernel==
===Prepare to compile a kernel===
Make sure U have everything needed to compile your kernel :
sudo apt-get install fakeroot build-essential makedumpfile libncurses5 libncurses5-dev kernel-package
sudo apt-get build-dep linux
Get the kernel source code :
sudo apt-get install linux-source
Now we are ready to start :
Prepare your environment:
mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
tar xjvf /usr/src/linux-source-<version>.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-<version>

===Apply the G25 patch if needed===
copy the G25.patch file into the source directory ( ~/src ) and
patch -p1 <../G25.patch
the output should be something like that:
patching file drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-ff.c
patching file drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-lgff.c
patching file drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c

===Configure the new kernel===
Get the running kernel configuration:
cp -vi /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
Adjust the kernel configuration:
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
Go to Device Drivers , and HID Devices
and enable the following options
Force feedback support (EXPERIMENTAL)
PID device support
Logitech devices support
Logitech Rumblepad 2 support
PantherLord/GreenAsia based device support
ThrustMaster devices support
Zeroplus based game controller support
With the 2.6.27 kernel on Ubuntu 8.10, I have to disable paravirtualized guest support otherwise the kernel cleaning fail.
This is not needed on 2.6.28 on Ubuntu 9.04 beta (2.6.28.11)
Go to Processor type and features and disable the following:
Paravirtualized guest support

===Compile and package the new kernel===
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-ff kernel-image kernel-headers
you now have 2 new package files in ~/src.

===Install the new kernel===
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.27.18-ff_2.6.27.18-ff-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb linux-headers-2.6.27.18-ff_2.6.27.18-ff-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
