Font Server Error
Help~, I am facing a problem:
When I type startx in terminal (I login with root), it shows:
failed to set default font path 'unix/-1'
Fatal server error
could not open default font 'fixed'
---
---
When I reboot the system, it shows:
Shutting down X Font Server [FAILED]
How can I fix this problem ????

I'll just make sure xfs (x font server) is running:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start
ps -alef | grep xfs | grep -v grep
If xfs shows up as a running process, then you can proceed to do 'startx', otherwise, you may need to look into the xfs init script in /etc/rc.d/init.d, I had experience that xfs fails to take --droppriv option well, then xfs fails to start, although appears succesful.
Fails to stop is not a problem, since you probably doesnot have it running, thus nothing to be stopped.
