Comment 9 for bug 949071

Ok, so here is the workaround... while we expect for a solution.

Considering my xorg file above, I added in "programs at session startup", the following command:

xrandr --output default --mode 1280x1024

This uses the Modeline as defined in the xorg.conf file, and thus now the xorg log shows:

...

[ 3836.645] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[ 3836.645] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.

[ 3836.994] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x1024_60"
[ 3842.916] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x1024_85+0+0"

[ 3844.405] (II) XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-A49B0D9CDBFA4DEADEE9D72BD5A2170E273505F0.xkm

As you can see, still the faulty setting to 60hz followed by the setting to 85hz due to the session startup program xrandr
