As far as I know to be able to handle pstricks xelatex/xdvipdfmx has to
call ghostscript to convert the pictures on the fly. The necessary
command lines for ghostscript are declared in dvipdfmx.cfg. 

E.g. my cfg contains (without line break):

%% GhostScript (Unix/Linux):
%D  "gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sPAPERSIZE=a0 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 -dAutoFilterGrayImages=false
-dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dAutoFilterColorImages=false
-dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dUseFlateCompression=true
-sOutputFile=%o %i -c quit"

%% GhostScript (Win32):
%D  "gswin32c -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sPAPERSIZE=a0 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 -dAutoFilterGrayImages=false
-dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dAutoFilterColorImages=false
-dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dUseFlateCompression=true
-sOutputFile=%o %i -c quit"

%% Use MiKTeX Ghostscript:
D  "mgs.exe -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sPAPERSIZE=a0 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 -dAutoFilterGrayImages=false
-dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dAutoFilterColorImages=false
-dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dUseFlateCompression=true
-sOutputFile=\"%o\" \"%i\" -c quit"


(last time I tried there were a problem on miktex so I don't know if the
commands are correct).
