that's strange - your xconfig file looks like it's set-up correctly and
that you wouldn't need the xinput.

did you restart the x-server ?

I would do a little more research on the x-config file.  that's really
where you want the set-up to live.

I used commands in my .xsesssion file to do that sort of thing, but I'm
not running an "environment", so if you are running gnome or kde
desktop, I don't know what you would need to do.

It really should be part of the xconfig file...
