I had the same error on my RH 8 re "cannot find default font fixed".  As
Mr Bandel said, your font named 'fixed' is missing.

Re-installing XFree86-base-fonts rpm fixed that for me.

Check your XFree86 logs though, when this happened to me /var/lib/xkb
was gone too (I think the log actually mentioned "/etc/X11/xkb/compiled"
which is a sym-link to /var/lib/xkb).  Reinstalling the XFree86 rpm
replaced that.

The bad news is that this kept reoccurring every few days on my system. 
Never did find out why.  After a new install of RH 9 failed with
hardware trouble warnings I installed Mandrake 9.1 and it's been fine
ever since.  Sorry I didn't have time to figure out the root of the
problem.  Maybe 'root' was the problem! :^)
