Hi,
after restarting my computer X won't start as the kernel enters run lever 5. the auto x config starts but cannot fix it. I get these outputs from the logs in /var/log/:
XFree86.0.log:
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
messages:

[etc]
I don't really know much about this but it seems that the problem is the x font server, specifically "xfs: cannot establish any listening sockets" .
Restarting xfs doesn't seem to make any difference. Does anyone know what the problem is and what to do about it?
Cheers, Chris
