This sounds like exactly what I need. Unfortunately, I just ran the
install of lenny, and the video is totally borked. I can't even see
text at the command line. I'm going to try running the install again,
but if I encounter the same problem twice, what would you recommend?

Is there any chance that xserver-xorg-video-intel will function under
etch? I don't really know enough about how Linux operates to know
whether or not that's possible.
