Not sure exactly, but have you tried commenting out the entries in turn until you find the one that's causing the problem? You can also try redirecting the logs to a file then seeing if anything unusual shows up. I.e., add the line: exec 2>"/tmp/errorlog" right after the #!/bin/sh line. When you say if the file even exists it fails, do you mean that even an empty script containing only #!/bin/sh causes a problem? You can also try logging the startx errors with: startx 2>/tmp/startx.error then post or look through the error file for more info. > > > Also, if there is somewhere better for me to to do this stuff, let me > know.
