drm: refresh rate down to 60 Hz in 2.6.35-rc5

[Sven Joachim]

[ Resending to the right mailing list.  I looked up in MAINTAINERS, but
  forgot to run "git bisect reset" and got the wrong address for
  dri-devel at .  Apologies to all who receive this twice. ]

After upgrading to 2.6.35-rc5, I noticed that my monitor reports a
refresh rate of 60 Hz when nouveau.ko is loaded, rather than the 75 Hz I
got on 2.6.34.  Graphics card is an NV86 (GeForce 8500 GT), the monitor
is a 1280x1024 TFT (Yakumo 19AL) connected via VGA.

I bisected this to the following commit:

    Also, document what the spec says to do.

How do I get the 75 Hz refresh rate back?  Adding "video=1280x1024 at 75"
as described in the nouveau wiki¹ has no effect.
