Hm, there is also similar to XWin info in system manual
(in my installation)
'man xinit'
under bash shell
You get different results because these are different programs which
use different runtime scripts.
for XWin.exe all parameters are in startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh where
it is executed.
xinit.exe presents different approach for running xwindows environment.
In my configuration it uses /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file to set all xwindows
parameters.
Look in these 2 files and everything should be clear I hope.
I don't know yet how to run xinit in fullscreen mode. Maybe there
are some parameters to X or xdm to set it but I don't know how.
