Don't do it. It can't be done with most of the recent OS 9 versions, I'm pretty sure X won't do it, and it shouldn't be done. It cooks the screen.
All that heat the hard-drive and processor generate has to go somewhere, so in the iBook they let it just go straight up through the keyboard, and pipe some of it along a conduction tube towards the area between the keyboard and the hinge.
The PowerBook, on the other hand, has superior cooling pipes, and since the case is made of metal, most of the heat is dissipated directly through the bottom layer of titanium. That's why using a PowerBook in shorts can be agony. According to reviewers, the bottom of the iBook is much cooler, whereas the surface of the keyboard and palm-rest are warmer.
So Apple killed closed operation of the iBook, but OS 9.1 was released before the current iBooks, and they aren't on the explicit list of computers to be excluded.

why are you unable to run 9.1 on an ibook?
Maybe the new 700mhz revs need 9.2??
Anyway, why it would it make a difference between 9.1 and 9.2?
<strong>Badtz, it's OK. EmAn is wrong. My iceBook shipped with 9.1 (and 10.0.3)

How am I wrong? The new iBooks come with 9.2.2 meaning that's the earliest OS they can use.
I don't know why it makes a difference between 9.1 and 9.2, but it works undr 9.1 and it doesn't under 9.2
