I would think there is a framebuffer mode available for your system - all you need to do is find the right number to use! A lot better than clogging up your disk/RAM with the XFree extension.

Heres a Calculator and Conveter to use as well if you don't know or want to know how to convert from hex to dec
HexDec Caluculator Converter
full calculator functions as well as conversion.
be sure to only type in the last 4 digits of a hex number though, it likes them depricated.
so 0x0200 would be 0200.
Hope thats useful.

It is possible to use DSL v3.x with a Sony Picturebook c1v*
However, it does require using an updated full version of XFree86.
You need v4.5.0 and you can achieve a very nice 1024x480 resolution. The XFree86 in the repository is 4.3. Visit the xfree86.org website to download the binaries to update 4.5
