I have a PCG-C1VN PictureBook with a 1024x480 LCD, and the automatic
configuration in Slackware-10.2 set up xorg.conf properly without any
tweaking.  On my laptop, the video card was detected as an ATI Rage
Mobility P/M, and uses the ati driver.  I don't know whether Sony used
different video chipsets in other PictureBooks.

Here are the relevant sections from my xorg.conf.  As you can see, I
don't have any Mode lines at all -- it just works.  The X server
version is 6.8.2.
