>Description:
	While talking to a user recently he informed me about an error in the FAQ
regarding this.  The file users are told to edit exists in /etc/X11 and not just
/etc.  Also, the format the FAQ gives is XFree86 specific and is not the preferred
way to format this section in Xorg.  I have corrected the path problem, added a
mention of the alternative name Xorg may be using instead of Xf86Config, and put
in a small bit explaining the alternative format and giving an example of it.
