Created bug report for ubuntu jaunty. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344673
This wasn't a problem for ubuntu, because kernels prior to 2.6.28 were
missing force feedback support for hid devices.
You can make this rule yourself, here is a good manual:

Or just wait, I will make this rule and post it to bug report.
