Where are the xinitrc examples ?

[SirWrexes]

Hello,
While trying to configure Qtile for my first use of it, I found that the documentation recommends running it in a secondary X session in order to test it.

When using the provided script ( qtile/scripts/xephyr), I get this error :

Kinda weird.

So I thought maybe I should try using startx.
Further reading the documentation, I've been led to this repository by a link saying it would contain examples of xinitrc files fitting my needs... but it doesn't ?

I never used startx before, only login managers.
And this is my first time using qtile so I don't know what sequence of action is recommended to start it from console/script.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Try startx qtile start.

Oh. Simply feeding it commands is enough ? That's interesting.
In the end I've been looking at the basic /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and slapped a few commands at the bottom plus qtile -l DEBUG -c ~/path/to/config/to/test.py, saved that edited copy as ~/.xinitrc and it works fine when using startx in a TTY.
And thanks for the tip !
