I've been using startx to start X for as long as I've been using Linux - about 10 years or more. Yesterday it stopped working, giving an error message about "/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc - no such option". But xinit runs as expected. This is on a laptop running Sid.
I know that startx is just a front end to xinit and is not essential but I'd like to understand what is happening. I had just done a large upgrade so perhaps something happened there; I'd also been experimenting with sshfs. Googling didn't produce much. I tried commenting out the lines in startx that refer to xserverrc but then other errors appeared. Can anyone shed any light on this? Perhaps I should submit a bug report.
