that is not lilo. lilo is your linux loader, which actually loads the kernel into memory and boots your OS. you probably have KDM as your login manager.
your have to type init 5 as root to get it to do anything. and it also depends on what your systems runlevels actually are.
try just typing startx.
you may also have just switched to a virtual terminal. if you get a message after typing startx like x already running, hit ctrl alt F7.
again your system maybe different, try F1 through F10 to see where X is running.
