Try log on at mode 3 (enter parameter 3 at GRUB or LILO bootup screen ) , then start your x with startx or gdm start or kdm start . If it's failed , show us your message .

And by the way , is your installation really success , especially Xconfigure step ?

What is the grub or lilo screen?

It's the boot loader on Linux (the screen appear when you boot up your system ) . A common example of boot loader is BootMagic .
