I have 8.04 and solved the problem by the following:

1: Copy the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
2: In a Terminal enter sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3: Have a look at the screen section (the sub section is important)

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Device "nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]"
 Monitor "Generic Monitor"
 DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                   Modes "1280x800"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

4: Save the file
5: Restart the system

The update of the file shouldn't take more than 15 minutes – otherwise you're going to loose the root privileges and you wouldn't be able to save it.

Hope it helps.
Peter
