There is no /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 backup.  It was working fine
yesterday, and when i booted this morning x would not come up.  I might
have make some resolution changes yesterday before shutting down.  " rpm
-qa --last | tac | tail" shows nothing.




More details needed. What XFree86 packages are installed?

$ rpm -qa 'XFree86*'

Verify all of them:

$ rpm -qa 'XFree86*' | xargs rpm -V

Post your /etc/X11/fs config file, too.

Then still the fonts.dir and fonts.alias files might be damaged.




The fonts.dir and fonts.alias files in their respective directories in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/*  look undamaged.  I assume the below
"unscaled" is an argument" as it is not a file.

The /var/log/XFree86.0.log is huge so I won't post it unless it's
helpful... however I neglected to post the "Could not init font path
element unix/:7100, removing form list! message.



I think the probleme come from here as xfs share its font to other X app (xdm ...) Can you give us the "Section Files" from XF86Config ??

Try to restart your xfs server (/etc/init.d/xfs stop and /etc/init.d/xfs start)

Finally try to recreate your XF86config (/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -configure.

If that doesn't work, install a Virutal X Server (ie. Xvnc or Xvfb)
and use xlsfonts and xset (xset -q) commands to have more information

Solution was to change "unix/:7100" to "/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/mixc/fonts.alias" for the FontPath in the XF86Config file. Thank you all.
