Something strange happened here. If copying "xorg.conf.new" on
/etc/X11/ and renaming it as "xorg.conf". I can't start X, the HD only
turning. Now I don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I can start KDE (not
Gnome). I don't know which "xorg.conf" I am now running.
I can toggle resolution to increase font size on browser witn

This won't work since those are just the windowmanagers - you need an X
server to start them.
However you could solve it with some small scripts:
start-gnome.sh:
#!/bin/sh
rm -f ~/.xinitrc
ln -s ~/.xinitrc_gnome ~/.xinitrc
startx
.xinitrc_gnome:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/gnome-session
start-kde.sh:
#!/bin/sh
rm -f ~/.xinitrc
ln -s ~/.xinitrc_kde ~/.xinitrc
startx
.xinitrc_gnome:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/startkde
make sure all of these files are executable (chmod 755 )
the .xinitrc* files have to be in your home directory - start-gnome.sh
and start-kde.sh in any directory in your PATH (eg. ~/bin if it's only
for one user)

Your advice worked here starting KDE.
What I'm trying to do is running;
$ startkde
will start K desktop
$ gnome-session
will start Gnome desktop
Tks.

If you're going to use "startx" you will need a ${HOME}/.xinitrc with
the following contents:
#/bin/sh
startkde
Make sure the file is 755 permissions. This will start up X with KDE.
I would suggest you configure /etc/ttys to start up KDM instead of
using "startx"
Cheers.
