the config file is under C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\dvipdfm\config
and MiKTeX also should have a local directory for packages. However,
you can copy the current dvipdfmx.cfg to dvipdfmx.cfg.orig and put
the new one in there.

There was a change in the behaviour of the GhostScript run, it is now
called with -dSAFER which doesn't allow loading external files which is
the default for PSTricks (the pro-files).
