i got to the 'setup' menu and could only choose 800x600 or 640x480, and
tried to choose generic lcd as opposed to generic crt; it the seemed to
save some changes but when i rebooted it went to 'out of range' after
grub/boot;

Tim suggested runlevel 3 and I may have led you down the wrong path on
runlevel 1.
either change the 1 to a 3 in my instructions or if you are already on
the computer, type 'init 3' to switch to runlevel 3. Then try to run
'startx'

Your X-windows settings are probably set incorrect. (too high a
resolution for your monitor...)
Don't have the details at hand, do some googling for X-windows and
resolution settings..

boot screen where it counts down before it boots is not lilo but rather
grub.
If you press the letter 'a' in grub, it allows you to 'append' arguments
to kernel for booting.
If you add the number one (1) to the boot line, press 'Enter' and press
'b', you will then boot with the option 1 which means boot to runlevel 1
at that point, try executing the command...
system-config-display --reconfig
and see if you can configure the display settings appropriately. Once
you changed your settings, click OK to save the changes and exit. You
can test by running the command 'startx'
If all works well, type 'init 5' to get to normal runlevel or just
reboot by typing 'shutdown now -r'
