Somehow your /tmp was scrubbed, removing files pointed to by
links--the files are sockets but the links say they are there and
of course they are gone.
Check /tmp for directories and files....
I think (tm) you might be able to restore service by running
Xconfigurator or by running X without the font server. Then run
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart
This structure was changed in 7.1 so the sockets reside in
/root/tmp and are not subject to this sort of deletion.
