So I've just checked it. And... nouveau is in fact NOT changing refresh rat=
e =

AT ALL. I mean, it is not fisically changing anything. After I execute the =

above command, xrandr says, that the refresh rate has been changed (the '*' =

mark is moved to the 60Hz frequency. But my monitor, which has an ability t=
o =

report its current refresh rate, still reports the same (91.2kHz, 85Hz) =

rates. So it seems, that --rate parameter does exactly NOTHING in the =

nouveau case. Isn't it strange? I can change resolutions, but I cannot =

change frequency...

Still, since I was not able to check the above, no solution for my problem =

has been found. Any more ideas? Anyone? For now I'm forced to switch back t=
o =

NVidia.
