Petre, Lines below from my lts.conf for such a hardware with B&W monitor.
[ws114]
        XSERVER = vga
        X_MODE_0 = 800x600   40       800  840  968 1056   600 601 605
628  +hsync +vsync
        X_COLOR_DEPTH = 4
        X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL =  "Microsoft"
        X_MOUSE_DEVICE = "/dev/ttyS1"

Watch out for the last line and make sure that you have proper serial
port for mouse. X can also hang if no mouse is found.
