Seems as if some files on your hard disk are corrupted due to the power 
shutdown. Reinstalling all X-related packages should help.

The other possibility is there are old temporary files (/tmp/.X*). Remove them 
and try again. But your logfile points to corrupted files, this may occur 
when these files were in use when the power failure happened.
