2.SH NAME
3cvt - calculate VESA CVT mode lines
4.SH SYNOPSIS
5.B cvt
6.RB [ \-v | \-\-verbose ]
7.RB [ \-r | \-\-reduced ]
8.I h-resolution
9.I v-resolution
10.RB [ refresh ]
11.SH DESCRIPTION
12.I Cvt
13is a utility for calculating VESA Coordinated Video Timing modes. Given the
14desired horizontal and vertical resolutions, a modeline adhering to the CVT
15standard is printed. This modeline can be included in Xorg
16.B xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__)

19.SH OPTIONS
20.TP 8
21.BR refresh
22Provide a vertical refresh rate in Hz. The CVT standard prefers either 50.0,
2360.0, 75.0 or 85.0Hz. The default is 60.0Hz.
24.TP 8
25.BR \-v | \-\-verbose
26Warn verbosely when a given mode does not completely correspond with CVT
27standards.
28.TP 8
29.BR \-r | \-\-reduced
30Create a mode with reduced blanking. This allows for higher frequency signals,
31with a lower or equal dotclock. Not for Cathode Ray Tube based displays though.
