Yes on all.

'Course, right now I'm trying to recover it (again). Had 12.04 
installed, then went to remove Unity. THen upon rebooting & trying to 
login, it says graphics not supported, and I then go to the list of 
choices, and I can't do anything. No mouse, nothing. Can't choose low 
graphics mode, or reconfigure.

Switch to tty1, run startx. I went in to Synaptic to reinstall Unity, 
and Gnome. Hope that brings it back to life....
