I've run XFree86 3.x many years ago on 486 systems with 16 Meg of ram.
It ran fine with a simple window manager like FVWM or TWM, but anything
more than simple apps cause things to start swapping.
A 256 KB video card won't even be able to do 640x480 in 8 bpp.
Are you sure about that specification? What's the resolution of
that laptop and which graphics chip? It sounds like it's probably
only 4 bit graphics.
Your disk space is also pretty limited. I'd expect X and related
libraries to take up a large chunk of that space. But maybe, if your
card is supported, you may do OK with an old XFree86 3.x release.
