What I've found to be odd is that the Fedora 8 install dropped me in to what it
describes as a 1920x1200 resolution, but it is obviously not. I was just able
to replicate the "phenomenon" that allows me to get a temporary 1920x1200
resolution. Here are the steps to reproduce:
1) Using init level of 3, run startx.
1) Change the screen resolution (not disply settings) to a lower resolution
2) kill the gnome session (ctrl+alt+backspace)
3) start back up the X environment (startx)
4) Go back to the screen resolution preferences, and change back to 1920x1200
and click apply.
5) My resolution appears to be correct for now, but once I logout and log back
in, I will be back to a crappy resolution (1280x960 or similar I think).
I am curious, by what method do you know you are not at 1920x1200, and at what
resolution you are really at ????

It looks like, from your Xorg.0.log if I interpreted it correctly, that you
should be in one of:
"1920x1200"x60.0
"1360x768"x59.8
"1360x768"x60.0
"1280x800"x60.0
"1152x864"x60.0
"1280x768"x60.0
"1280x720"x60.0
"1024x768"x60.0
"800x600"x60.3
"640x480"x59.9
