Default

Code:
PROMPT#>sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Did this, and it rewrote xorg.conf.

Pay attention to your screen settings, this is probably what makes your graphical session not available.
I didn't see anything in the above about screen settings. Here's the resulting xorg.conf:

Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
After rebooting, same problem.

Also did you get the files cleaned from your home folder before power loss? If not make sure you clean them. This could have a harmful affect on starting.
I've cleaned out some of my /home partition. df -H now reports root (/) 9.2gb free and /home 4.9gb free. I've also cleaned out /tmp. But I can't find any .Trash directories, either in my home directory or off root.

BTW, I've several user accounts on the machine; all exhibit the same behavior.
