PiTFT 3.5 boot to startx?

[mooneygeek]

I'm writing an application which I'd like to have start from boot. It's a python3 script.

To etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart I added @lxterminal and @/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/DigitalClock.py.

A reboot went to the Linux prompt. But when I entered 'startx' the desktop came up and the digital clock script executed. So I figured I needed a way to run startx.

I ran raspi-config and selected 'boot to Desktop.' On reboot, the terminal came up on the HDMI monitor instead of the PiTFT. Is there a way to auto-run startx (or xserver or anything that allows a script with pyside) so that it operates on the PiTFT?

BTW -- The HDMI display was not connected at boot. When the PiTFT went black, I connected the monitor to see if anything was showing. The digital clock was running on the terminal there.
