Then it is the same only different.
When you run: "startx": "xinit" runs the script: "xinitrc" which
contains basically the same thing (from the XFree86 stock script):
----------------------------------------------------------------
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is the script that should read your: "~/.Xresources" file.
Note the two lines:
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
This may be an error: ".Xresources" & ".Xmodmap", if your global file
names, or links, do not start with ".".
