Last summer I finally retired a laptop with a max of 128MB of RAM, 4MB of which was used for video. X ran just fine. Debian Sid, 2.6.24(approx) kernel, whatever was up to date at the time. Being 350MHz, I didn't expect it to do video, and I didn't try to run a full KDE desktop, but I did run Kmail, Konqueror, Firefox, OpenOffice and everything else up to date that I wanted, and again it ran just fine. Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
