This is a common symptom on older Red Hat systems. You need to figure out why your font server (xfs) isn't starting properly.
On the contrary, xfs is up and running. The problem begins when I execute "startx", then xfs crashes. The X font Server was somehow corrupted by the hard shutdown.
OK. Then, I'll rephrase. You need to figure out why xfs is crashing. Try restarting it manually. Although, this problem is common with older Red Hat systems, I have never experienced it myself and don't really know what the problem might be.
