[Xpert]linux font path error

[John Herrington]

I'm having a problem with my Xserver that I have never seen before.  I
have been running Xfree86 happily on my X86 Linux box (Red Hat 7.2/KDE)
for about a year now, with no problems, and the other day I suddenly
started getting the following error message when booting up:
-
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device Mouse0 (type: MOUSE)
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
---
The bootup process then jumps down to run level 3, and I am unable to
start the X server manually (I keep getting the same error message).

Has anyone seen this error before?  I just installed the latest version of
xfree86 (4.2), and I am getting the same error message as before.  Any
advice on how to fix this would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

John

sounds like xfs isn't running. 

if test ! -f /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S90xfs; then ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs 
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S90xfs; fi
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start
startx

If you can then run X, all is good. 
telinit 5
