Ensured that already, being a newbie I had a tough time getting only the console terminal to start up, but after I had the terminal, I started all the services just in case xfs maybe dependent on some other service...should I have done that or not? When the services are being started it shows: Starting xfs [OK] so I suppose xfs has started, and also to be on the safer side, as a root issued the foll command, /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart everything's fine, but on issuing startx, the same error of "fixed" font can be seen. In short, been there done that.
