If memory serves me right, the IBM Thinkpad T40 has an ATI Mobility
Radeon 7500 video chipset - you won't need ATI's binary driver to get
decent 3D on this machine as X's own DRI-enabled open source driver
(ati) would be apt for the task.  You could add these in the "Device"
section for your video:

        Option          "Accel"
        Option          "AGPMode"               "4"
        Option          "EnablePageFlip"        "1"
        Option          "AGPFastWrite"          "1"
        Option          "HWCursor"              "1"
        Option          "DDCMode"               "yes"
