Hi Leonid.
To fix the screen noise you need to shutdown your system (by the hard way:
pressing power button few seconds) and reboot by Debian CD 1 and go to rescue
mode on advanced menu. Then go to the step that you open a terminal on your
previous installed debian (/dev/sda1 as example) and install by dpkg the
firmware-linux-nonfree. You need to download it from debian nonfree repository
and put in another pendrive. OK, reboot your system.
PS: But this don't solve the xorg problem!
