2.SH NAME
3gtf - calculate VESA GTF mode lines
4.SH SYNOPSIS
5.B gtf
6.I h-resolution
7.I v-resolution
8.I refresh
9.RB [ \-v | \-\-verbose ]
10.RB [ \-f | \-\-fbmode ]
11.RB [ \-x | \-\-xorgmode ]
12.SH DESCRIPTION
13.I Gtf
14is a utility for calculating VESA GTF modes. Given the desired
15horizontal and vertical resolutions and refresh rate (in Hz), the parameters
16for a matching VESA GTF mode are printed out. Two output formats are
17supported: mode lines suitable for the Xorg
18.B xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__)
19file, and mode parameters suitable for the Linux
20.B fbset(8)
21utility.

23.SH OPTIONS
24.TP 8
25.BR \-v | \-\-verbose
26Enable verbose printouts This shows a trace for each step of the
27computation.
28.TP 8
29.BR \-x | \-\-xorgmode
30Print the mode parameters as Xorg-style mode lines. This is the
31default format.
32.TP 8
33.BR \-f | \-\-fbset
34Print the mode parameters in a format suitable for
35.BR fbset(8) .
