"rescue mode" is not necessarily "normal mode"; don't expect it to 
function as it normally would (X, multiuser, etc).

Also, X may not be installed or may not be configured properly.

But X is not your concern at the moment. Getting your system to boot 
properly is.

While you were in rescue mode, did you run "lilo"? If not, do so and 
reboot. If you did, post the contents (without comment lines) of 
/etc/lilo.conf for us to peruse and tell us a little bit about your 
system (how many hard drives, partitions, SCSI vs IDE, master, slave, 
which IDE port, etc).
