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.
