My init 5 settings are set to boot up X11.  All was fine till I tried to
tweak my monitor a bit.  Having made a backup of XF86Config and whatnot I
changed the H and V rates now it just flashes at me and I can't even
login...

No problem, right?

Far from it..  for some reason LILO wont let me init my runnlevel 3
(eg: LILO>linux 3   OR LILO>linux single)

Like wise alt-F1 does nothing nor ctrl-alt-backspace.

If somebody out there could give me a tip of some sort I would owe them my
first born (hows that for giving back??)
