I had the exact same problem.  Run "sudo displayconfig-gtk" from the 
Terminal and the old Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 screen resolution 
configuration applet will appear.  Choose what type of monitor you have 
from the menu on this screen and then you can select your resolution.  
I've submitted a bug report on this already.  The Screen Resolution 
window in System~>Administration in Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't have the option 
for selecting your monitor type, the OS is letting the driver detect 
what display you have, but this isn't working right and not being able 
to choose your monitor settings in that window is a serious limitation.
