Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!

ur xwindows has corrupted...to be precise

/etc/X11/XF86Config (in RH9...check the path in SuSE) has been corrupted

check the following lines in ur XF86Config

Section "Files"
# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
# FontPath "unix/:7100" => I commented & added the below line when I had the same issue/error in my RHL9
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
