If you want to know why the NVIDIA X driver rejected 85Hz, do the following:
# mkdir -p /etc/dt/config
# cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/Xservers
# vi /etc/dt/config/Xservers
Append to the command line at the bottom " -logverbose 6"
# pkill -HUP dtlogin
Now /var/log/Xorg.0.log will show each video mode it tried to validate and
why it was rejected.
