hello all ,
              unable to start X font server 

I'm getting following message once I execute 'startx'
---------------------------------------------------
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) 
On X server '0.0' after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events
remaining .

[drm: i810_flush_queue] *Error Lockup 


in /var/syslog/log file 
-----------------------
could not init font path element unix/:700 remaining from list

Fatal server error : could not open default font Fixed .



i  tried out
------------

#chkconfig --list | grep xfs

#chkconfig xfs on
#service xfs start

after above commands xfs is getting started but still the same
problem.



I even tried out  Xconfigurator , when I run this then X windows gets
opened only for once.

Please help me out.

Thanks in advance ,

Vikram.

When X-posting to so many groups set FUT to the most relevant
group. I have set FUT to comp.os.linux.development.apps, not
because I bothered to find out which one is relevant, but
rather because it is the only of the groups I follow.

Here is your problem. xfs is not on port 700 but rather 7100.

Another possibility is that xfs failed to start because /tmp
was full.

Have you been editing your XF86Config(-4) file?  The font server should be
 unix/:7100
