The X-Server seems to have trouble to start and is respawned by xdm or kdm
in a loop. If you use LILO, you can reboot the system in runlevel 2, which
does not start the X window system. Just issue "linux 2" on the LILO
prompt (assuming that "linux" is the name of your boot configuration).
You can then correct your X configuration.
Good luck!
