Define 'not working'. If you don't tell anyone what exactly your 
problem is how do you expect people to help you?

Anyway, this needs to be fixed:

... because without you telling XFree86 about your display it assumes 
that you have an old VGA monitor:

... which results in a mode your panel can't display:

1024x768 in 60Hz should work fine and you may need Option "iBookHacks" 
"true"

have fun
