gnome desktop does not start


Hi fellows. Iam a newbie in linux but so far I like it very much.
Now here is my problem:
I have a p4 machine with windows xp. I have installed VMware workstation 5 and running redhat9 as a virtual machine. Have been using gnome desktop hapily for 2 weeks now. But today when i started linux the desktop would not startup it gave the following message:

VESA(0): Failed to set up write combining range (0xf0000000, 0x10000000) Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

XIO: fatal error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.



Any help will be appreciated.

and then restart and check.

If that will not work yet you can upgrade the boot loader,don't be afraid you will not loose your files.
