finally it work ! special thanks but I modified a little bit :

if ( isset( $query_string['cat'] ) ) {
			switch ($query_string['cat']) {
				case 1:
				$query_string['posts_per_page'] = 2;
					break;
				case 5:
				$query_string['posts_per_page'] = 8;
					break;
				case 3:
				$query_string['posts_per_page'] = 6;
				// default:
					// $query_string['posts_per_page'] = 6;
					break;
			}
		}

because WP don’t recognize ‘category_name’, maybe because I don’t use permalinks with localhost.

Hi,
now I know why my pagination doesn’t work … I tried your workaround, no more 404 error but it don’t work correctly ??
I have 3 categories with differents “posts_per_page” 6, 2 and 8
Now I have this problem : I click on next news page (posts_per_page==2) => go category/news/page/2/ and it always display posts 1 to 2 and not 3 to 4
the same with other categories
<?php query_posts('cat=3&posts_per_page=2&paged=' . get_query_var('paged')); ?>
I test on v3.3.1
