Hi,

Whenever you want to install Linux on a laptop,
http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ is the place to go!

I found two personal testimonials regarding Linux install
attempts on a IBM 365 XD laptop
http://personal.riverusers.com/~thegrendel/laptop1.html
http://www.samiam.org/linux/365xd.html

Both articles have comments on running X.
If you are in it for adventure, give it a whirl and let us know how it 
goes!

Good Luck
Beth Lynn
