Now I could configure it well, but using xf86config directly in console
mode, and then it works well in all the modes, be careful! if you try to
configure x windows again in the KDE, it destroys your configuration and
all goes to shit again.
My xfree configuration is this:
* Mouse PS/2
* dev: /dev/psaux
* Standard 102 Keyboard
* Keyboard Language Spain
* Monitor horizontal refresh rate: 31.5-47.5 (30-50)
* Monitor Vertical refresh rate: 50-100
* Video Card: 561 - S3 Trio 3D
* Clock: No Clock
* Xfree Server: XSVGA
* Video Resolution sets to: 1024x768 in 8bpp & 16 bpp
800x600 in 24bpp & 32bpp
* and all works fine :))))
