Thx Safemode, for some reason: 1) I didn't know that, and 2) I did an upgrade from RH 7.0, and the setup was kept with xfs... I did what you said and it works, and the fonts seem to work better now, what a surprise! :) I also removed xfs from all run levels (is there anything else I should look into to make sure my "upgrade" didn't miss anything?)
Take care,
Cloter
p.s.: I also got multihead to work (in 1/2 hr), really nice!!

I assume this is X 4.x If it is then you do realize that you shouldn't be
using xfs. It's not necessary. the x font server is inside the X server
now. Just add "Load "freetype" in the module list to get true type font
support. add your font paths in the X config file and you're set. Of
course if it's 3.x just ignore this.
