Can you explain "never works" ?

Should work.

I think the problem is in the monitor autodetection and configuration.
In PXES 0.8 default frequencies were changed to Standard SVGA 800x600.
You can select the frequencies that better meet your monitor requirements.
To test, just add the frequencies in the kernel command line (these are
only examples):
... xh="50-70" xv="50-120"
