Yes: you would be better off using xenodm and editing
/etc/X11/xenodm/Xservers, with a script and a doas config around 'rcctl
start xenodm' if you really must start it manually, but if you don't
want to do that for whatever poorly-considered reasons then xinit does
in fact use the xserver and xinit rc scripts provided they're not
overridden on the command line or in the environment:
/*
* if no server arguments given, check for a startup file and copy
* that into the argument list
*/
if (!server_given) {
char *cp;
Bool required = False;
xserverrcbuf[0] = '\0';
if ((cp = getenv("XSERVERRC")) != NULL) {
snprintf(xserverrcbuf, sizeof(xserverrcbuf), "%s", cp);
required = True;
} else if ((cp = getenv("HOME")) != NULL) {
snprintf(xserverrcbuf, sizeof(xserverrcbuf),
"%s/%s", cp, XSERVERRC);
}
etc.
Also you're right: X does not execute .xinitrc. xinit does that.
