This one is embarassing - I put the XF86Config in the wrong folder. It was in /etc, which is where I had been storing it when I ran 3.3.6 , instead of /etc/X11. Once I moved the file, the changes took affect, and all was well with the mouse. Unfortunately, all of the serial ports on my system are dying when I start X now. Both the onboard ones, and the ports on my Digiboard 4e. Only console tty's aren't affected. Strange that it affects all of the ports, even though they are on totally separate controllers - leading me to believe X is poking its nose somewhere it doesn't belong.
