Some other X stuff is still in /etc/X11:

[root at hactar ~]# LANG=en ll /etc/X11/
total 68
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   18 Jun  4 02:17 X -> ../../usr/bin/Xorg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  547 Jun 11 19:13 Xmodmap
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  493 Jun 11 19:13 Xresources
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr  7 23:44 applnk

[root at hactar ~]# LANG=en rpm -qf filesystem|grep X11
error: file /root/filesystem: No such file or directory
[root at hactar ~]# rpm -ql xorg-x11-xinit|grep X11
/etc/X11
/etc/X11/Xmodmap
/etc/X11/Xresources
/etc/X11/xinit
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients.d
/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/localuser.sh

Perhaps you meant -ql in both cases?

[root at hactar ~]# rpm -ql filesystem|grep X11
/etc/X11
/etc/X11/applnk
/etc/X11/fontpath.d
/usr/lib/X11
/usr/lib64/X11

No xorg.conf was listed there. Does that prove anything?
