press Ctrl-Alt-F1 .. that should take you to a text cosole.. basically that
combo will always take you to the first text console assuming you are in X.
to kill X do Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace
If you are getting blank display and can't do nethign about it, then at
LILO prompt say "linux 3".. this will take you to runlevel 3 which means X
won't start by default.. thus u'll endup in text console.. now login as
root, play with X configuration, say startx and see if X works.. once you
have X working, just say init 5 and u'll be on u're way to X login!.. and
next time u reboot, it'll auto go to u're working X login :)))
