Bug#688516: Refresh rate can't be changed

[Daniel Dadap]

Hi hetas,

Thanks for reporting this. I can confirm that, at least on my system, 
the --rate option seems to be ineffective on a recent 304 driver.

I've filed NVIDIA bug 1054623. Feel free to use this bug number in 
future inquiries about this issue.
