Package: xinit Version: 1.3.4-1 Severity: normal The startx manpage states: To determine the server to run, startx first looks for a file called .xserverrc in the user's home directory...
The actual behavior of startx seems to be rather different from this. I created ~/.xserverrc, containing this command line: exec /usr/bin/X -retro -nolisten tcp vt7 "$@" (in addition to the shebang line), and set it to chmod +x. X still starts on the original vt. If startx could be made to behave as documented (NOT simply documented to behave how it does), it would be nice. I have SysV init, *not* systemd, so I'm not concerned about logind getting confused. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xinit depends on: ii coreutils 8.23-3 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii x11-common 1:7.7+7 ii xauth 1:1.0.9-1 Versions of packages xinit recommends: ii mwm [x-window-manager] 2.3.4-6+b1 ii xserver-xorg [xserver] 1:7.7+7 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 312-1 xinit suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc changed: exec /usr/bin/X -retro -nolisten tcp "$@" -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
