GPL Steering sensitivity

I'm after some advice. I have a digital edge steering wheel which is superb (genuine racing wheel with solid metal shaft etc). It works fine with most games, except that with Grand Prix Legends, it seems too sensitive, i.e. when the car is staionary, you can see the steering wheel on screen slightly shaking around the centre point. I am using a thrustmaster ACM game card. This makes it difficult to play the game. I have set the steering response to fully non-linear in the game, but it still is a little unstable. Does anyone know of a solution to stabilise the output either using electronics or software? Simon.

Is this with both the directx driver and the generic driver? Bart Westra
If you are using the direct input option, you may want to make sure that you have "poll with interrupt" disabled in the advanced Games Controller applet. If this is happening with the generic, you may want to try experimenting by "de-tuning" your ACM card. % I'm after some advice.
