Rumble not working with xbox pad on linux - Salamandre - 06-12-2020

Hi there,
I am using xbox controllers on linux and the rumble function does not work with any of my games.
However, when I use the commande
Code:
$ xboxdrv -R
the rumble works when I press the triggers as expected.
But when I try
Code:
$ fftest /dev/input/event17
I get the output
Code:
Force feedback test program.
HOLD FIRMLY YOUR WHEEL OR JOYSTICK TO PREVENT DAMAGES

Device /dev/input/event17 opened

This @logos88 has exactly the same output an seams to say that his problem is solved, but I don't understand how.

Any hint ?
