I upgraded from RH9 to FC2 and used yum to update. Everything seemed fine.
I used yum for some more updates. After doing this I noticed problems with
menu text (underlined letters showed up in green boxes). I re-installed
the NVIDIA binary drivers (had to - could not get X to start). Now the
NVIDA screen shows up clearly but X refuses to start complaining about
fonts. I have included the messages below.
How can I fix this?

Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
Here's your problem; you are using either the wrong transport, or the wrong port. Make sure that xfs is running, and use either
FontPath "unix/:-1"
or
FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100"
Or don't run xfs and ensure that the correct font paths are defined in your xorg.conf

FatalError re-entered, aborting Caught signal 11. Server aborting
This doesn't look good either. Maybe it's just a cascading error, but I'd also make sure that your libGL and video driver for X11 are in sync. ie. make sure that your driver is set to "nvidia" and the libGL that is used by the server is the NVIDIA version.
