No .xinitrc here either
Authored by: Han Solo on Jan 10, '03 02:49:28PM
Rob mentions that -- to his apparent surprise -- he did not have a .xinitrc file in his home directory from a prior XFree86 install. I don't either -- and I haven't installed Apple's X11 yet. Not sure why some some people have this file and others do not. I'm rather certain I didn't delete it (at least not intentionally) earlier. locate did turn up a file named xinitrc (notice, no leading dot) in the /etc/X11/xinit/ directory (and several soft links elsewhere pointing to this file) that do have a syntax similar to that mentioned in this hint.
