Having followed the "Howto Debug Display Issues", the problem is resolved on my system.
What I think happened is that my monitor/video card settings weren't quite right. My original installation was Ubuntu 7.10 and I had a lot of trouble setting up the video (it took me 3 or 4 reboots and there were instances of settings disappearing or reverting to values other than what I thought I had set). I finally got it to work at 800x600 and left it there even though I prefer 1024x768. Whatever those settings were, they 'worked' until I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04. I'm new to Linux so I may be mis-interpreting the commands I typed in, but I think the - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - erased those settings because when I rebooted, I had to go through the same video settings procedure that had been so troublesome the first time. Maybe because I'm a little more experienced, it was a little easier this time (but still harder than I'd like) and I even managed to set it to 1024x768. I've attached a file with the outputs requested although I limited the xorg.conf.* files to a sample (I think xorg.conf.3 was the original setup and .5 was when I got it working).
