Art, Actually, xinit doesn't need an .xinitrc; it defaults to using xterm as the initial x client -- no window manager, just the X server with a single xterm; Ron's problem is (apparently) occurring when xinit starts 'X'; we were just trying to narrow it down with that bare experiment. You're right, of course, if he wanted to do anything useful (like have a window manager), he'd need an .xinitrc if running 'xinit' directly.
