I think the Vaio line covered a lot of different hardware, so it's hard to tell. I had a Vaio some years ago from... 2006?) that I was able to install DragonFly on, but it wasn't easy. That's long enough ago I can't easily say what I had to do, but since the older units tended to have Sony-specific hardware (MemoryStick, for instance), it was difficult.
Xorg -configure should be depositing a xorg.conf.sample file in root's home dir if it's running; you can look at it and see if it's configuring something crazy like not picking a default video card, or similar. It may be possible to figure out working settings by making small changes to that resulting config file and seeing what works. My hunch is that it is some small default setting that just needs to change. If it doesn't create a config file, try running without one - I've had that inexplicably work for me, where -configure got an error, but running from nothing and having xorg guess instead of test worked fine.
