.SH NAME
cvt - calculate VESA CVT mode lines
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cvt
.RB [ \-v | \-\-verbose ]
.RB [ \-r | \-\-reduced ]
.I h-resolution
.I v-resolution
.RB [ refresh ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I 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 __xservername__ 
.B __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__)
.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP 8
.BR 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.
.TP 8
.BR \-v | \-\-verbose
Warn verbosely when a given mode does not completely correspond with CVT
standards.
.TP 8
.BR \-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.
