With RedHat, it starts automatically on boot. I don't know what distro you
have, so that may vary. If it's RedHat or Mandrake, you should have a
/etc/init.d/xfs script if the correct package is installed. To make sure it
starts up automatically, there should be a link to it in the runlevel
directory corresponding to the runlevel you are entering on startup (it
sounds like you are starting at runlevel 5.) If you don't understand what I
am talking about, do some homework. :-) The best way to understand things is
to do the research and learn.
I personally use ntsysv to manage my startup script links. Use man ntsysv to
learn how to use it. It's very simple. There are a lot of other programs that
you can use to do this, or you can create and delete the links by hand.
Again, you probably want to do some research and find the way you prefer to
do it. One of the strengths of Linux is that it does not dictate policy to
the user, but that's also a weakness. If you want a standard way to do
things, you are going to hate it because there seldom is one. If you like
options, you will have plenty. :-)

On RedHat, which I am most familar with, xfs is in it's own package and
has
it's own startup script. Startx is not responsible for starting it. It
must
already be running.

Hi Scott, thanks for your respond
fxs is not running, but it is supoused to be loaded by startx, maybe
I
should reinstall the packages related to X, the thing is that I have no
idea how to do that from command line.
Could you tell me which utility should I use andwhich packages should
I
remorve and reinstall?
thanks a lot.

Hi there, I'm Jose from toronto
After a power shutdown, I've restarted the server and I couldn't
init the graphic interface. Logged in as root, when I try to start
the graphic interface startx the screen turns black and I get the
error logged in the attached file.
The last part of the log file is the error you'd get if you forgot to
start your font server. Is xfs running?
