toshiba satellite 1110: problem with graphic card => won't install Windows

Hi,

I have a problem on my old Toshiba Satellite 1110.
It won't install windows (2k/XP) or even linux (Ubuntu).
On windows (2k/XP), when it comes to message "Starting installation",
it just freezes.

I tried to install Ubuntu 6.10 (linux), and it's loading system fine
until start to load Gnome X and just hang (with orange screen).

I assume there is a problem with graphic,

Could anything be done with the laptop?

Laptop Specification (below).

Many thanks,

Ales.
