For the ATI Mobility FireGL 5200 graphics chip in the T60p you can use either the open source radeon module or ATI's proprietary fglrx module. For installation instructions, you can view our Configuring an ATI graphics chip guide. For 3D support, you will need the proprietary module.
There were no problems in getting the IBM-Lenovo Thinkpad T60p working well when used with an up to date Linux distribution.
