I am afraid the XF86Config-4 files are only supplied by a couple of distributions (RH for instance) because they provide BOTH 3.3.6 and 4.x.x. As a consequence it is not a standard and is probably only documented (if at all) in those distributions. As an aside, I am surprised to find out that The files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 are used: on one of my PC I am running RH 7.1 with both 3.3.6 and 4.x.x (depending on the user id, with 3.3.6 I get acceleration not with 4.x.x -its an old PC) in my case, I doubt very much that anything else than what is in /etc/X11 is used... Anyhow, If you are using only one version why not copy the relevant file onto the other.
