Hi, XFree86 buddies, Many thanks to those who gave me valuable suggestions! Finally figured out the solution. I just hard coded the font paths into the /ect/X11/XF86Config and rebooted the system. My X started again, although xfs still doesn't work for some unknown reason. But anyway, it works! Thanks so much again!
