xinit is a script the contains the system parameters for starting x windows..
this meansthat you haven't set stuff right.. just run Xconfigurator    thats a
capitol X
and choose the right stuff.. startx and if there are any problems go
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to cancell x before there is any damage.. change the setting
and try again.
