Where has my original xorg.conf (the long version) gone? Is there a way to get it back somehow? And where does this new - and severely truncated xorg.conf file come from?
Any suggestions?

Your monitor is probably not being identified by X and therefore X is not using appropriate parameters. Certain monitors have a bug which causes delivery of incorrect EDID information to X when probed. But this is rather rare. Start looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and find what was probed and found.
Try also selecting the correct model for your monitor in KDE or gnome. If it turns out automatic probing does not work and you cannot manually select the monitor either, you would need to disable the probing step ("UseEDID" "False" ) and enter your monitor's specifications and other options such as resolution in the xorg.conf file.
