Very Computer

I was able to login to /home cia x window.  After trying several times, I
now cannot access X windows.  Here are the error messages:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////////////////////////////////////
FontTransSocket UNIX Connect: can't connect: errno=111
failed to get default font path 'unix/:-1'
fatal server error:
not able to open default font 'fixed'

according to /var/run/gdm.pid, gdm was already running but seems to have
been *ed mysteriously.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Any ideas.  I had been downloading font files to run pdf files and such.  I
will gather exactly what I downloaded.  But if the errors here are
sufficient to help me, please,
HELP ME.  I need to get to my sutdy materials pronto.

thanks,

Since the error indicates unix/:-1, it can't find your x font server.
A common reason for that happening, it that you're out of drive space and
the font server can't write to /tmp. Run

df -h

to see if you have available space, and try restaring your font server,
e.g.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start

on Redhat.

If that continues to fail, try reinstalling the standard fonts from your
distribution CD.

Not 100% sure (sitting on a non-X box), but I think the xfs error messages
should be found in /var/log/messages.
