The pid files for RH are usually in /var/run
If not you can do:
find / -name xfs.pid
include the quotes due to the .
that should show you where it is.

Subject: [XFree86] Font server problem ...
Hello:
This is apparently a Red Hat xfs configuration problem.
Red Hat 8.0 standalone PC ... I was trying to install Oracle 9i
Release 2 on Linux and I unfortunately followed 2 or 3 different sets of
directions for establishing the Oracle user account and dba account.
Regardless, I can no longer start in runlevel 5 gui mode now ... I don't
want to reinstall Red Hat yet again, and lose the files I've just downloaded
plus many other valuable files just because of this damned problem ... this
is twice now ...
I have these clues: the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file, which ends with:
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
I've located the xfs files but haven't modified them. Changed nothing so
far.
When I try to restart I always get: could not open default font
'fixed'.
If I do this: /sbin/service xfs status
I get the following: dead but pid file exists.
How can I (should I?) locate and kill that file/process?
Can someone please help?
Nick
