I have problem starting the X  because , its not able to connect to the
font server. 

The following are the error messages 
----------------------------------------------------------
_FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
failed to set default font path 'unix/:-1'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
----------------------------------------------------------
When i try to start the xserver
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start
                                     ---------------> [OK]
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs status
  xfs dead but subsys locked


and i also tried to set  the font path to 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/..

But still the errors have persisted.

and why should this happens often, 

thanks in advance
