Intrestingly enough, ther *ARE* two XF86Config files on my drive.
Sadly, both are identical... 
I thought you had it there for a minute.

Also, there *is* a utility that you can make changes to the controller with.
It's called SmartSet, and is also DOS based.

Tried it. No love.
This is really, really bothering me for some reason....
