Well I have exactly the same PowerBook.
To make X work you need xfree-dri-trunk and I installed xfree 4.3.99
I posted all that you need in the following link (you have the kernels
images also) http://isadora.homelinux.net/debian/powerbook/

Things that work:
- Xfree with 2d accel
- CD/DVD recorder
- pcmcia
- bluetooth (with Palm Tungsten T3 access with ppp)
- light sensors to adjust lcd bright and keyboard backlight
- Sound
- USB
- fan control

Why I don´t erase MacosX?
Airport don't work (I use an 3com wifi pcmcia card)
External monitor don't work
3d accel
sleep support
