Setup Basic X-Window Environment (required for fglrx and aticonfig to work)
------------------------------------------
 
    # setup ~/.xinitrc to set GPU fan and clock speeds and to open a permanent xterm window
    #
    # ~/.xinitrc is a script that gets executed when 'startx' gets called.
    # It gives the user a chance to do things when X starts up.
    # You can read more about it here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xinitrc
    #
    # The following is an example ~/.xinitrc file for a 3-GPU rig -- if you have more or
    # fewer GPUs, then add or remove lines as necessary to account for each GPU
 
    nano .xinitrc
