You can do a "yum install system-config-display" and get back
the X config app they removed from the standard distro because
X is now perfect and never makes any mistakes :-).
Thanks, that took care of half of the problem. Now, the other half is that
F8 supported a 1360x768 (widescreen) display mode and F11 doesn't - it keeps
defaulting to 1024x768 and will not go to the widescreen mode even when it
is listed as the only option in xorg.conf (it drops to an unsupported
display mode for some reason). Any suggestions?

You could try to add to xorg.conf:
Option "NoDDC"
This tells the X server to not probe the monitor for its capabilities,
but to do what it's told. You shouldn't really need it unless you're
using a kvm though.
Well, I tried this and it did absolutely nothing.
In the xorg.conf file, the only display options I have listed as valid
are 1024x768 (to make sure at least one mode agrees with it) and
1360x768, in hopes that the system will finally realize that it is a
viable option. When I go into the display dialog the listed display
modes are 1024x786, 800x600, 640x480, etc. You will notice that the
system added the extra display modes even though they are not listed as
valid in the xorg.conf file. The 1360x768 display mode isn't even
listed and these are what's confusing me the most.
