I had this same problem the other day, after Netscape hung, X froze, and I had to connect from the machine behind me. I killed Netscape, but that wasn't enough, so I killed X, and X failed to come back up. When I looked at the log file, I found that X was complaining about not being able to find the default font, fixed. Since I've been installing various X and TrueType fonts lately, I thought that perhaps some of those might be masking the regular fonts. That led me to editing /etc/X11/xfs/config and /etc/X11/XF86Config to remove the local fonts from the font path. I discovered that commenting out the font servers from the font path, FontPath "unix/:7100" FontPath "unix/:7101" allowed X to start. Investigating further, I discovered that the xfs font server wasn't running. When I restarted it, and then started X again, everything seemed to work okay. (I also just noticed that the close double-quote on the xfstt line (``FontPath "unix/:7101"'') was missing. Perhaps that had something to do with it, too?)
