Cant start X-Window
I'm running RedHat 8.0 on a laptop, and before the login screen, I get a message saying that the X-Server cannot be started because it is not set up properly. It then shows me the log file and this is the error that I see:
Could not init font path element unix/:7100,removing from list!
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
I have no idea what this means, and running the x configuration program does not fix the problem. It was running fine at one point, so I'm not sure what I did to cause this

Starting xfs [OK]
then when i tried startx, i got the same error as before, but now it also reports:
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"

Are you sure to have some font installed?
The X server will try to open at least one of them through the xfs (X Font Server)... Bye!
