>Description:
      In the handbook chapter about XFree86 configuration (5.4.2), it incorrectly states that the skeleton configuration file (XF86Config.new) will be created in the current working directory.  This is not true - it is actually created in the users' (in this case, root's) home directory.
>How-To-Repeat:
      Look at the handbook section 5.4.2.

State-Changed-Why:  
Its true that this is created in the 'root' directory.  However, your patch 
didn't apply.  Instead I used <filename>/root</filename> for the /root 
directory.  It should now read: /root directory called in place of 
current working directory.  However, it may take up to 24 hours for 
this change to appear on our website.  Thanks for the submission!
