Unhappy XFree doesn't start - fixed font not found


Hi... recently I'm having trouble with my XServer, I can't have it worked, not even starting simple xinit...

I'm using RedHat 9

Here's what the error said:

--- Begin ---

Release Date: 27 February 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6

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

I can't seem find the problem, does anyone knows how to solve the problem?

For information, all fonts installed correctly, and I already reinstall them, xfs also reinstalled and checked, as far as I know, there is no problem with the installation...

The error start happening suddenly, when the day before everything went smoothly... is there any missing files, or misconfiguration that can lead to this problem?

Please anyone help me...

I seem to find something that might be the problem,
When I start my xfs with tcp connection enabled, everything goes fine...
As far as I know xfs should be open the default port 7100 unix socket, but it seem that XServer unable to connect to it.
I don't like to let my tcp port 7100 left open...
