I've found a workaround to get 85 Hz at 1024x768 (as I had got with the older drivers). According to

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=861453&postcount=18

I put the following lines in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Option "UseEdidFreqs" "FALSE"
Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes"

And now I have 85 Hz. It isn't perfect, because with the older drivers I can select 1024x768 at 60 Hz, 70 Hz and 85 Hz, although it isn't a big problem (I always use the higher rate I can, 85 Hz).

By the way, my monitor is a 17" Samtron 75E.
