Very good.

2 things to note here. 

First, that file is, as noted in the comments contained in the file, for evdev 
based
systems.  The default these days for Fedora is "libinput" not "evdev".  Try not 
to confuse
the 2.

Second, you should avoid making changes to "system" files in places such as 
/usr/share
whatever.  These can get overwritten without your knowledge on updates and 
upgrades and
leave you scratching your head.  In this case the file you tried changing is 
provided by
the package xorg-x11-drv-evdev and should that package get updated or whatever 
it could
change that file and remove whatever changes you made.
