cvt - calculate VESA CVT mode lines |
cvt [−v|−−verbose] [−r|−−reduced] h-resolution v-resolution [refresh] |
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) |
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. |
