XF86Config (normally in /etc/X11), is a configuration file, and looks kind
of like this what I have below. In Red Hat, there is an Xconfigurator and an
XF86Setup.
Xconfigurator is supplied by Red Hat and  XF86Setup is supplied on all
XFree86 distributions. 

---- Part of an XF86Config.

Section "Files"

# The location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally
# no need to change the default.

    RgbPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)

    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
