/usr/X11/ wouldn't exist on most modern distributions, so it'd be
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config which (for old-timers) is linked
back to /etc/X11/XF86Config.

Not having a configuration file in /etc is a bug, one that XFree86 v4 and
beyond (thankfully) rectify. Most (all?) current distribution ensure
that editing /etc/X11/XF86Config will work.
