    There is a good chance that there is a file somewhere in your
    filesystem that is getting looked at first, I've experienced
    that before doing support while working at Linuxcare.

    Do a search and see what you find.

            find / -name "XF86Config*" -print

    That should show you all the files and I'd guess you have one
    file that is somehow "ahead" (in the $PATH) and is getting hit
    first.

    Just a guess here. :)

    Do you maybe have serveral /etc/X11/Xf86config files, with different
    suffixes? There is no script changing XFree86Config at boot time.
