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	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(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.
