VDrift includes two tools that can be used to change G25 modes. Either tool can be used; use whichever tool works the best for you.

usbtool

The tool can be found in VDrift/tools/usbtool-0.1.tar.gz. The tool requires libusb development headers to be installed (package libusb-dev on ubuntu intrepid, for example) as well as the swig package. Run ./build.sh and then run ./usbtool to see the options available. To set the wheel to native mode and the range to 900 degrees, run:

sudo ./usbtool g25-set-range-wheel-900

and

sudo ./usbtool g25-set-extended-mode

This will likely disconnect the joystick driver. To reconnect it run:

sudo rmmod joydev;sudo rmmod usbhid;sudo modprobe usbhid

G25manage

The tool can be found in VDrift/tools/G25manage. The tool requires libusb development headers to be installed (package libusb-dev on ubuntu intrepid, for example). Run make to compile the tool, then run:

sudo ./G25manage --nativemode

and

sudo ./G25manage --range 900

The wheel should now support the entire turning radius as well as the clutch pedal.
