This one looks fine.

However, there are other Vaio models with other LCD panel resolutions. I'll
give it a try on mine (PCG-Z600TEK with 1024x768 panel).

Perhaps we can get the model name from the BIOS and map it to the panel
resolution using a table? Alternatively we need a `panel:<xres>x<yres>' option.
