Brezancic,I didn't read this on mine! It merely said that more games work with a
single.
Separate means that the brake and accelerator work independently on different
axes whereas single means that one axis is used for both - which is more
realistic anyway.
I managed to configure both (using ProPanel or the Games Controller option in
Win95 - but I have to reboot to switch between single and separate. Rebooting is
often a good idea if your controller doesn't seem to work.
F1RS works on separate for me though you have to set the gear shifters to another
key before you set the brake/accelerator controls.
