X11 on a G3 iBook

So, I finally got my hands on a PowerPC, and I installed Slackintosh on it. Unfortunately, X doesn't seem to want to load on it. I believe I have an iBook Dual USB, but I may not be able to distinguish it from a VRAM 16 or a late 2001 model: iBook: How to Identify iBook Models

In any case, I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me a push in the right direction as far as configuring X is concerned.

My xorg.conf:
