 (0xffff) length effects

Hello, thank you for getting back to me.

It doesn't make sense to have a force feedback effect with zero
duration.

Many if not all existing wheels, interpret this as an infinite duration
effect, and existing software operates under the same assumption.

Interpreting 0 as 0, is causing many wheels to appear to not function at
all using certain software under linux.
