Ok, you can try Ctrl-Alt-F1, but if X isn't responding it may not work.  
Sometimes Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is turned off.

You should be able to hit tab or something at the LILO boot menu, just before 
the boot process starts, and enter "linux single", or possibly "linux 1" or 
"linux 3" to get a console session.
