>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.

Look at the handbook section 5.4.2.
