So apparently, it does correctly set validates and set the mode to 1280x1024_85 
(first part of the log) then it Xorg does other initialisations on kbd, mouse, 
etc... and at the end... it sets the mode back to 1280x1024_60


I saw that nVidia-settings was on the session startup. What is does here is 
push what is saved on the ~/.nvidia-settings.rc to the X server. But 
apparently, the screen refresh rate is not saved in this .rc


I'm now searching for a workaround... for example a way to "force" the refresh 
rate at session startup, and still not found a program that can do that with a 
command line :/
