640x480 is probably the most common resolution of all time.
The color depth does not matter for monitors.

Yes.

I have no trouble except that my monitor is slow to restore from 
powersave mode and I usually don't have the time to see the FireTOS logo 
and boot menu.

Also, currently the FireBee has trouble with the polarity settings 
required by some resolutions on some monitors (including mine), so the 
picture is distorted and the colors are bad (but no crash or hang). 
Currently, those resolutions just have to be avoided. This problem will 
be fixed in future FPGA updates.
