Just press CTRL+ALT and the minus or plus key in the numeric keyboard.
That conbination switchs the video mode, no need to press any number
just the plus or minus key.

I'm sorry again, I don't know waht is wrong with me, maybe I need to
sleep :) don't press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE that restarts the X. Just press
CTRL+ALT and the plus or minus key.

I don't remeber if there is a boot parameter to use a specific video
mode, but before the install begins you can get some help with one of
the function keys F1 I think.

Once I have a trouble with a PC of  friend, his monitor only works with
720x480 then I can't do the graphical install, I did a text install and
on the firs boot from HD I switched to a console and put the 720x480
mode in XF86Config using Vi. Then I restarted the X and it works.
