Hello,
I started the xfs server and in debian I did /etc/init.d/xfs restart|start
And the server started but the problem is the same except the line
"Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!"
Is not in the error messages so I guess that part is fixed...the it still
get

Fatal server error:
 could not open default font 'fixed'



thanks
