[mythtv-users] xinit Finds But Does Not Execute .xinitrc

[Kirk Bocek]

I have a fresh install of CentOS 6 x86_64 that is going to become a 
MythTV frontend box. When booted, the box auto-logs in as mythtv, runs X 
and then is supposed to run mythfrontend through the .xinitrc file. This 
is something I've done for years on CentOS 5 and am now trying to do for 
the first time on CentOS 6.

The box auto-logs in and runs X just fine. xinit finds the .xinitrc file 
but does not execute the commands in that file. After booting the 
process list looks like:

|mythtv 12676 1514 0 09:40 tty7 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/startx
mythtv 12692 12676 0 09:40 tty7 00:00:00 xinit /var/lib/mythtv/.xinitrc 
-- /usr/bin/X :0 -auth /var/lib/mythtv/.serverauth.12
root 12693 12692 1 09:40 tty8 00:00:01 /usr/bin/X :0 -auth 
/var/lib/mythtv/.serverauth.12676
|
xinit is finding the .xinitrc file but it does *not* run the commands 
there. I have tried playing with the permissions on that file.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks.
