Question, are you editing this in the XF86Config file, or the XF86Config-4
file?

I spent about 3 days trying to get my scroll button on my mouse to work,
editing the XF86Config file, only to discover, in a frenzy of anguish,
that it actually uses the XF86Config-4 file in /etc/X11

Others might have known this, but no one ever told me about it.  I only
learned by saying, well, what if it's using one of the other files here...

Hopefully this helps

cheers
