12 .SH DESCRIPTION
13 .I Gtf
14 is a utility for calculating VESA GTF modes. Given the desired
15 horizontal and vertical resolutions and refresh rate (in Hz), the parameters
16 for a matching VESA GTF mode are printed out. Two output formats are
17 supported: mode lines suitable for the Xorg
18 .B xorg.conf(__filemansuffix__)
19 file, and mode parameters suitable for the Linux
20 .B fbset(8)
21 utility.

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