This is not a lilo issue.  xdm is being started by the rc.d scripts.  
You can stop xdm from any root promt:

# /etc/init.d/xdm stop

If you want to prevent xdm from starting at boot, as root run:

# update-rc.d -f xdm remove

This won't remove xdm, it will just remove the symlinks that cause it 
to run automatically.  If you want to restore those later, as root run:

# update-rc.d xdm defaults

Man update-rc.d for details.
