How old is this monitor ? Did it work correctly using the blob/earlier
nouveau ?

You can find how to "hardcode" the timings/refresh rate, by googling
for
"xorg modeline".
Note 1: The refresh rate change will take place AFTER Xorg is up (i.e.
currently there is not way to set it at boot time).
Note 2: The generated values may or may not work. What you can try is
startup "Xorg --verbose 9" using the blob and it should print the
refresh
rate/timings used. Then you can add it to xorg.conf
