Yes, PAO will support more hardware than 3.2 but 3.2 works just
fine on my laptop (PC cards, apm, sound, X11 (with full res and
colours), CDROM and all the rest - OK I think the USB works but I
haven't got anything to plug into it anyway).

Probably (it depends on the controller). It is certainly worth
trying 3.2 or -stable.
