Ok...assuming (have to make SOME assumptions here, since you haven't
given a whole lot of detail) that your Linux is on /dev/hda1 you'd
type "e2fsck /dev/hda1"
If your install is on a different drive/partition, you'd use the
appropriate partition/drive ID. i.e. if it's on your second IDE drive
and the first partition, it'd be "e2fsck /dev/hdb1"
This MAY not solve your problems. However, it's always a good
starting point when having problems after a power failure.
If it doesn't work, you may have to nuke your x preferences and start
over, but that's a BIT beyond my level of expertise.
