Hi, I may have misunderstood your problem but, from you letter, I'm guessing that you get a standard xdm login/password box which then keeps resetting. If that's the case, did you try using an alternate virtual console? (ctrl-alt-F1 for example). This should get you to a text prompt from which you can log in. Then, I think you can go to /etc/X11/config and comment out the line that says "start-xdm". This should allow you to log on and reconfigure your xwindows setup. I don't know if there's also a way you can do this with LILO though... Hope that helps.
