I have followed the steps you outlined. Here is the "current" problem: it is still reading from the XF86Config-4 file (which tells me it is still running version 4, I think), not the XF86Config file which is created by Xconfigurator. I know I wan to run version 3.3.6, but how do I let the system know this?
