Start Linux in single-user typing linux single at the LILO:
prompt, then modify the /etc/inittab to start in console mode
instead of graphical mode. Edit the line

id:5:initdefault:

put a '3' where the '5' is.

Restart the machine, so you can see the login prompt, then
use Xconfigurator or whatever there is in your distribution to
fix the configuration for X. See also the XFree86-HOWTO.
