Does the xfs start correctly?
try "ps aux | grep xfs"
or "/etc/init.d/xfs restart"

I have RH8. Recently the graphical system stopped working -- on boot, I
get an "I cannot start X server" message. When I look at the log file, I
see:
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
In addition, some
For some reason my GDM screen and whenever I run XMMS,
the fonts appear as little boxes, not text.
Is there anyway to fix this, I tried changing the
current font under the Gnome Control Panel and no
luck.
thanks

Better error messages would always be nice ;) But

I have had xfs choke also on three different systems running 6.0 and
6.1. I can't put my finger any any one thing that causes the problem. I
have temporarily fixed it by using tcp sockets instead of unix domain
sockets. Here's what I did:
1. Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config
2. Change FontPath unix/:-1
xfs is a little wacky. If it cannot look up your hostname, it may
die, sometimes silently. If your machine is disconnected from the
network and you have given it a name other than localhost.localdomain,
you have to add the new hostname to /etc/hosts as a nickname for
localhost.
If you are on
Ok, I looked into it a little more. xfs is starting up fine (i.e. 'xfs
status' says it is running). When I try to start X, it gives me the
error, crashes, and xfs is no longer running ('xfs status' says that xfs
has stopped but the lock-file still exists). If I delete the lock file,
then I can
This is probably because the font server is not running. Try starting
in (/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart).

Hi,
This morning my computer won't start X, instead it just gives me the error
below. I'm running RH6.0, pretty much just a stock install, and I don't
recall doing anything recently that would have caused this. Has anyone
had this happen before?
