xfs is your X font server, and it's not loading, so X isn't loading. The
easiest thing with the highest chance of success is to reinstall xfs:
rpm -e XFree86-xfs
yup install XFree86-xfs
Also make sure you have chkfontpath and freetype installed (you probably don't
need freetype, but it's good to have).
