On the contrary, xfs is up and running. The problem begins when I execute
"startx", then xfs crashes. The X font Server was somehow corrupted by the hard
shutdown.

I have implemented a band-aid fix. I included the line

"FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"

in my XF86 Config file, X  now starts normally with "startx" and I can print.
This, however, does not correct the fundamental problem created by the power
cut.
