OK, but which one (1280x1024_60 or 1280x1024_75) is implied in the line
       (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x1024"
which is very near the end of the log file? I assume that this mode
will be the one I get when I put
      Modes       "1280x1024"
in Subsection "Display" of Section "Screen" of xorg.conf. But I
still can't see where is the information about the refresh rate to
be used.
