NAME
cvt - calculate VESA CVT mode lines
SYNOPSIS
cvt
[-v|--verbose]
[-r|--reduced]
h-resolution
v-resolution
[refresh]
DESCRIPTION
Cvt
is a utility for calculating VESA Coordinated Video Timing modes. Given the
desired horizontal and vertical resolutions, a modeline adhering to the CVT
standard is printed. This modeline can be included in Xorg
xorg.conf(5)
OPTIONS
- refresh
-
Provide a vertical refresh rate in kHz. The CVT standard prefers either 50.0,
60.0, 75.0 or 85.0kHz. The default is 60.0kHz.
- -v|--verbose
-
Warn verbosely when a given mode does not completely correspond with CVT
standards.
- -r|--reduced
-
Create a mode with reduced blanking. This allows for higher frequency signals,
with a lower or equal dotclock. Not for Cathode Ray Tube based displays though.
