To be brief, I have installed Debian Sarge with kernel 2.6.17.11 and I use gnome. I have a nvidia GForce2 MX/MX400 and a NEC LCD1711M that operates best at 1280x1024@60Hz. If I use the nv drivers everything is perfect... If I use the official nvidia 1.0-8774 drivers I cannot change the refresh rate, it is stucked at 75Hz.
This is my XF86Config-4

Is it a bug or the max resolution of the monitor resides somewhere else than XF86Config-4.
Cannot lower refresh rate
