I've found a page which is describing how to use X with NM2380
(NeoMagic NM256XL+).
See http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~and1000/vaioF-series.html 

From this page, there are some reports that selecting the chipset to be
NM2200 (256AV) and reducing the VRAM to 4M will make the X work.
There is no explanation about a version of XFree86, but
it seems to be 4.0 from XF86Config.

I've already orderd PCG-SR7K, so I'm very interested in this topic too :-)
