From the output you were showing, it looks like you also have a
.xinitrc file in your home directory:
/Users/daverobinson1uk/.xinitrc: line 1:
{rtf1macansicpg10000cocoartf824cocoasubrtf410: command not found
/Users/daverobinson1uk/.xinitrc: line 2: syntax error near
unexpected token `}'
/Users/daverobinson1uk/.xinitrc: line 2: `{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss
\fcharset77 Helvetica;}'
If you have one in your home directory, it will completely override
the one in /private/etc/x11/xinit. I would suggest that you only edit
the one in your home directory, but as Ken suggested (and I totally
missed), make sure you save it as plain text and not in rich text
format.
