The original poster's problem, BTW, can be resolved if hedownloads the non-free firmware, puts them under a firmware/ directory on a USB key, and tells the installation process to look for the firmware. Nothing to do with Debian having 'billions' of year old software.
Go check the bug reports for Lenny. Secondly, check the kernel's change log. Also, check Xorg version numbers. And ahem... Debian doesn't apply patches to its kernel, does it? :)
