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:

How do I get the 75 Hz refresh rate back? Adding "video=1280x1...@75"
as described in the nouveau wiki¹ has no effect.
