You need the .xinitrc to be in the homedirectory of the
user you are logged in and starting X as.

If you're logged in as root, this will be /root
If you're loggin in as another user it will be whatever
you specified as homedirectory for that user. Probably /home/username

Anyways, you can find out what the homedirectory for the user you're 
currently loggend in as is by typing

  echo $HOME

at the command prompt.

Hope this helps
