Accidently disable service with Mandrake Control Center; X wont start

[SynapticBurst]

When disabling ssh, i may have accidently unchecked the fontserver (or something like that). X worked fine for the rest of that session, but upon reboot, X won't load anymore.
I usually boot up to console, then run
"startx", and it would load. On this occasion, X would begin to initialize, only to spit out something about fonts.
Is there a command i could throw in, text based, that would allow me to configure services (simliliar to pcmcia, network, iptables etc during boot)?
Much obliged

You can start xfs manually with "/etc/init.d/xfs start"

Then startx and use the mandrake control panel to enable the service, you could reenable it manually but it's easier this way.

"etc/init.d/xfs" works,but "/etc/init.d/xfs start" doesn't. Does the "start" start it up as a daemon?
Here is the full error message, located after the usual detection of the graphics card (ex r128 etc):

"error loading keymap /var/tmp/server-0.xkm
couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
could not init fontpath element unix/:-1, removing from list!

Fatal server error:
Could not open default font 'fixed'

When reportin error.....
Please report problems to ....

XIO:fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining"

Ok, so I've already tried looking at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config, but it did not mention "unix/:-1" or "default font:fixed" or ":0.0"
Come to think of it, the only time that I've ever come across ":0.0", is during editing a blackbox style , where the command "Esetroot -display :0.0 /usr/share/blackbox/backgrounds/blah.jpg"

Maybe that has something to do with it?

Wow that was a lengthy post!

"start" starts the service, "stop" stops it and "restart" stops and then starts it.

Normally if you type "/etc/init.d/xfs" you should get back this
[malakin@malakin1 malakin]$ /etc/init.d/xfs
*** Usage: xfs {start|stop|status|restart}

So it doesn't do anything uless you use one of the commands.
