Hi,

I have xfs at my RH6.0, but this must be similar.

Boot to tty.

Create config-file for xfs and place it anythere
 (I had ready, it's /etc/X11/fs/config in RH, example:)
------------------------------------------
#
# Default font server configuration file for Red Hat Linux 6.0
#

# allow a max of 4 clients to connect to this font server
client-limit = 4

# when a font server reaches its limit, start up a new one
clone-self = off

# where to look for fonts
# Some of these are commented out, i.e. the TrueType and Type1
# directories in /usr/share, because they aren't forced to be
# installed alongside X.
#
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo

# in 12 points, decipoints
default-point-size = 120

# 100 x 100 and 75 x 75
default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100

# how to log errors
use-syslog = on
------------------------------------------

Change "catalogue" list to include all your font-paths, (order is important
:)

After that start xfs (read xfstt:)  from console, with all the parameters it
need,
 like port and config file (for example use port 7200), run it on
background.

After that edit /etc/XF86Config (backup prev. file!):
 the only thing you must leave in FontPath must be

 tcp/localhost:7200

After that startX.
It must connect to your xfs now, and if your "catalogue" was set right
 in its config file you must be done.

@Maxim
