Hi,
I cannot use xetex and pstricks on miktex 2.8 with texworks as well as 
in TL2009 on macbookpro.
trying to compile this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
test
\end{document}

I got:
This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9995.1 (MiKTeX 2.8)
entering extended mode
("C:\Documents and Settings\Seba\Pulpit\xeps.tex"

(D:\Miktex\tex\xelatex\xetex-pstricks\pstricks.con
! I can't find file `xdvipdfmx.cfg'.
l.6 \input xdvipdfmx.cfg

as far as I can tell there is no xdvipdfmx.cfg nor xdvipfmx.con on my 
disk. Trying to fins solution on internet but found nothing.

Any help?

I suppose it is missing in MiKTeX and TeXLive, too. You can get it
from CTAN
http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pstricks/base/config/xdvipdfmx.cfg

save it in the directory of "kpsewhich pstricks.con" and
update the filename data base

I already made a miktex bug report about the missing file some days
ago. 

But I wondered a bit: Why did you choose the extension .cfg, why not
xdvipdfmx.con?  cfg is an extension used by a lot of packages and
binaries for configurations.

Herbert solution provided to me worked on Miktex and macos texlive with 
pdflatex.
Xelatex on Macos however with the same solution applied still no efect. 
It looks driver is recognized but in the log I got
"Image format convertion for PSTricks failed"

Perhaps the xelatex is older, or isn't using xdvipdmx as driver.
