Greetings:
I have been unable to start Xwindows. The system begins to boot into
graphics mode, then kicks out and leaves behind the following message:
Cannot connect: errno = 111
Failed to set default font path `unix/:-1`
Fatal server error
Could not open default font `fixed`
I took Larson's advice and tried to look to see what started xfs. The
result of grep xfs /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/* was:
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs:# xfs: Starts the X Font Server
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs:# Version: @(#) /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs 1.3
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs:# processname: xfs
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs: daemon --check xfs su xfs -c xfs -s /bin/sh
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs: touch /var/lock/subsys/xfs
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs: killproc xfs
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs: rm -f /var/lock/subsys/xfs
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs: status xfs
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs: if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/xfs ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs: killproc xfs -USR1
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs: daemon --check xfs su xfs -c xfs -s /bin/sh

/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs: echo "*** Usage: xfs {start|stop|status|restart}"
I did not see any specifications for -config or error-file=. Am I looking
in the wrong place? What config file does xfs use?
I was looking to see if maybe the 'fixed' font was missing, but it is in
the misc directory of X11R6/fonts/. Does anyone have any idea what to do?
Any help is welcomed:
