As of now, the kernel which will be installed on your system would be
"2.2.20.0.1-2000-12-03". I have no idea what that is :) I know that it's
more recent than 2.2.18pre21, which was what it was the last time I
installed Debian. So you'll have USB support.
As far as a user-friendly utility to set up X, I don't know. There's
XF86Setup, that comes with XFree86 3.3.6. I find that fairly intuitive.
If you upgrade to 4.0.1(or 2), there's a walkthrough shell
script(xf86config) which'll get you started. However, you might need to
manually tinker with the XF86Config-4 file.
