I believe that the system checks for a configuration file in the users
home directory. Might be there somewhere? Could be either as a .??????
file or just a normal file.

I know I had an issue like this at one stage when someone sent me a
xfree86 config file and I saved it, without thinking, into my home
directory. Next time I started X it all died with these warnings about
driver not being correct. Took me a while to realise and delete the
offending xconfig file.
