Unable to get true 1920x1200 resolution with Fedora 8

During a recent re-install to Fedora 8, I have found that the 1920x1200 resolution that I had in Fedora 7 has been lost. Even with the 915resolution hack, the resolution still is off. From what I can guess, it looks like 1280x1024 or 1440x900. Has anyone had success achieving this resolution, if so how?

I did notice a few peculiarities. First, I was able to get a resolution close to (if not exactly) 1920x1200 after futzing with the screen resolution in the GUI, logging out, logging back in. The couple times I saw the "good" resolution, I had reduced my screen resolution setting, restarted, then updated the screen resolution to 1920x12000 and clicked apply. After the next login, the resolution was back to its reduced version. I also notice that each time I login, the resolution appears to magnify as the fonts/icons are being loaded. The text generally shows up first in a smaller form, and then magnifies as everything is loaded. I don't know whether either of these two points are relevant, but I did find them unusual.

My configuration is below.
