Can i get to the console from yaboot?
      

After the blank screen you should be able to switch to console with
Ctrl+Alt+F1.
    

Yes, this would usually work. I'm too lazy to check the documentation on
how to use magic SysRq on an Apple keyboard, though.

i have tried all combinations of keys you guys have told me,
with ctrl-alt-del seems to change in brightnes a lot.

so my feeling still is that all works fine, but i just can not see it.
so i would have to type blind all commands to change settings,
wich looks quite hard to achieve.

i think i need to restart form the begining, if theres no better idea

if  i have a clean debian again with no desktop at all as i had,
then i can configure it from the console before installing any desktop.

what do you think?

thanks for the help so far to all,
sergio
