NAME
     cvt - calculate VESA CVT mode lines

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/cvt [-v|--verbose] [-r|--reduced]  h-resolution  v-
     resolution [refresh]

DESCRIPTION
     Cvt is a utility for calculating VESA Coordinated Video Tim-
     ing  modes.  Given the desired horizontal and vertical reso-
     lutions, a modeline adhering to the CVT standard is printed.
     This modeline can be included in Xorg xorg.conf(4)


OPTIONS
     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.
