Font Server

After an improper restart (x-server hung up) the X-server wouldn't start, saying something about FontPath being specified as user:/ 7100 (which it is, in xorg.conf), and that it can't find font 'fixed'. Turns out it was caused by the xfs server. It hadn't started despite a couple of reboots. Doing

• /etc/init.d/xfs start

seems to have fixed the problem. Brilliant!
