   (SONY_VGA_MODELXXX) :-
      (| (& (pix-x=640)
            (pix-y=280)
            (color=256))
         (& (pix-x=1028)
            (pix-y=1028)
            (color=256)))

is obviously equivalent to:

   (SONY_VGA_MODELXXX) :-
      (| (& (pix-x=640)
            (color=256)
            (pix-y=280))
         (& (pix-y=1028)
            (pix-x=1028)
            (color=256)))

or

   (SONY_VGA_MODELXXX) :- (| (& (pix-x=640) (color=256) (pix-y=280))
                             (& (pix-y=1028) (pix-x=1028) (color=256)))

or a lot of other combinations. Can you make sure that all these
things hash the same?

Regards,  Martin.
