Here's your problem; you are using either the wrong transport, or the 
wrong port. Make sure that xfs is running, and use either

   FontPath "unix/:-1"

or

   FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100"

Or don't run xfs and ensure that the correct font paths are defined in 
your xorg.conf

This doesn't look good either. Maybe it's just a cascading error, but 
I'd also make sure that your libGL and video driver for X11 are in 
sync. ie. make sure that your driver is set to "nvidia" and the libGL 
that is used by the server is the NVIDIA version.
