I followed the advice of JacobS to boot an earlier Live CD - in particular, I booted a 7.04 live CD, which worked, mounted my original /home volume on a mount point I created, and saved the xorg.conf generated by 7.04 into my old home directory. Then I rebooted into 8.04.1, and copied the 7.04 xorg.conf into /etc/X11. After rebooting, I was able to start up in the maximum 1024x768 mode the monitor handles.

This worked on both systems I used this monitor for - see bug #255561 and bug #217004 - regarding a Dell PowerEdge 400SC and a gBox computer.

I've attached the working xorg.conf file for the Dell system.
