XServer not starting after power outage
 
When I restarted my computer after a power outage this morning, it boots to text only (sorry if that is a noob term). I guess it is not a huge problem because I was able to start the xserver by logging in as root and changing to runlevel 5. I was then able to log in as usual, but I would like to know how to fix this. I am running Mandrake 9.1.

When it boots to the command-line just type startx

To boot directly into X:
As root, edit the file /etc/inittab
Change the line
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:5:initdefault:

That fixed it! Thank you very much. I knew it would be something simple.
