Unfortunately, that sort of thing is very difficult to deal with in X,
because it just wasn't designed to do that.  It's never been a high
enough priority that the XFree86 team has pushed for it to happen.  Even
the commercial X servers don't have that sort of thing that I know of.

According to the XF86Config man page, the location of the config file is:

           /etc/X11/<cmdline>
           /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/<cmdline>
           /etc/X11/$XF86CONFIG
           /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/$XF86CONFIG
           /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
           /etc/X11/XF86Config
           /etc/XF86Config
           /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config.<hostname>
           /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
           /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config
           /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.<hostname>
           /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config-4
           /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config

/etc/X11 is the default place to put them in recent RedHats.  That's
probably why your changes weren't taking place.
