For UsaacKuo: How do I check which graphics chip my particular IBM T41 has?

Given all the good info received so far, I'm going to give download AntiX 6 a try and post back with my commenta or questions. Many thanks to you clever folks out there!

Saving Isaac some time. Here I thought you had a x41 from my quote above.

from

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThinkPad_T_Series

Quote:

Announced in March 2003, the ThinkPad T40p represented the first in the T Series’ ‘performance’ class of laptops.[9] The ThinkPad T40p offered ATI Mobility 9000 with 64 MB VRAM, a 14.1” TFT display with 1400×1050 resolution, a maximum of 2 GB PC2100 RAM, and a 60 GB hard disk.[10] The design was followed by the T41 and T41p and the T42 and T42p (ATI Mobility 7500, 9600, and FireGL T2), with almost complete parts interchangeability, except for the fan (normal or p-series), keyboard (14.1" or 15"), screen (14.1" or 15"), and screen inverter.

AntiX 16 32 bit full iso will run fine on it by the way. I can vouch for that being a AntiX team member.

Videos for usage and how to install are here:

Good luck with it.

You can do it through Windows XP but probably the best way is to boot up AntiX into live mode and then open a terminal and enter this command and press "Enter"...

Code:

lspci -nnk

That will give you a list of all your devices (or chips.) Please feel free to post the results so that we might be able to offer additional advice or help, if needed.

or, AntiX comes with the inxi command already installed

Code:

$ inxi -G
