You should have a look at the Linux Laptops site. There's
documentation about the Sony XG28:
Linux Laptops:
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/
http://www.bluecoat93.org/tech/linux-xg28.html ^H^H^H
scrath the above, the guy did not configure his graphics card correctly.
A search on Google gave me:
http://www.de-srv.com/linux/sonyF450.html
This page has good instructions.
Since I have a Sony with the same graphics card so you can ask me if
you have trouble. I can also give you my SVGATextMode config: I do
80x60x9.

Isn't it time that we have a good database on how to configure hardware
for Linux! The F450 documentation partly duplicates that of the F490,
and the XG28 got things wrong. A laptop/desktop is nothing but a
collection of hardware components, so just point to the proper page for
that component.
