I don't know about 1-3. Regarding 4, I've seen lenny fail to load the
video modules. If you enter:
aptitude search vesa
do you get a line like:
i A xserver-xorg-video-vesa - X.Org X server -- VESA display
driver
You probably won't see the 'i' at the beginning of the line, which
indicates that the vesa module is installed. If you don't see that,
you'll need to install xserver-xorg-video-vesa using aptitude/apt/your-
favorite-package-manager.
