[Software] Cannot use xinput commands on startup

$

Hi Debian Users,

I'm attempting to preserve my preferred settings for my peripherals each startup on my system.
I am doing this by using `xinput` commands in one of my startup files (.xinitrc, .xsessionrc, etc).

When I use startx to start my window manager, provided I have any xinput command in any startup file script, the error message is as follows:

Code:

xf86EnableIO: failed to enable I/O ports 0000-03ff (Operation not permitted)
What is happening here?
My best hypothesis is that the script command is running before the peripherals are setup on boot.

Additional information:
- This problem does not occur when I run my xinput commands post startup.
