[NTLUG:Discuss] X Problem - Newbie

[Jeff Demel]

X is giving me some troubles today.  I'm running GNOME/Enlightenment on a
Red Hat 6.2 box.

I was switching between some files in Gnotepad+ earlier today, and the
computer froze.  Damn thing froze hard.  After rebooting I couldn't get X to
start.

Here's the error I got:

_FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
Failed to set default font path 'unix/:-1'
Fatal Server Error:
Couldn't open defualt font 'fixed'

I wasn't really sure what this error was trying to tell me, so I searched
the Red hat site and came up with nothing.  Deja.com had a few suggestions.
I tried running XFS, but it just says "Warning!" and hangs.  Finally, I
commented out the line - FontPath "unix/:-1" - in my XF86Config file.  Now X
starts, which is great, but I don't see this as a fix, more like a
workaround.

So...  Anyone have some advice for me?  What exactly is the FontPath
"unix/:-1" line doing?  Do I need it?  If I do, what should I do to fix it?
