You should try Debian's configuration method instead.

# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

When I enter that command nothing happens, only happened at first
boot.

According to Joey Hess, dpkg-reconfigure implies "-plow".

What happens if you run

# dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xfree86

Nothing, I've used the fb device driver instead. (kernel 2.4.20)

What do you mean, "nothing"?  Using the "fb device driver" renders
debconf utterly non-functional on your system?

You are asked no questions at all?

Yes, the problem was that I erased dboostrap_settings from root directory, then the dpkg-reconfigure program doesn't appeared with ncurses, after ansvering all the questions it doesn't works.

Then I've compiled a 2.4.20 benhq kernel with Nvidia framebuffer support, and instead of "nv" I've used "fbd" (framebuffer).

In order to make this work I had to remove the option "Standard VGA console" (or something like that) in kernel configuration. I'm going to try if with the "nv" driver happens the same thing, but 2.4.20-pre9 has problems (debugger stops startup and network doesn't work) and I have to study a lot, I will wait for a stable release.
