modeline2fb [OPTION] [FILES]

Modeline2fb is a simple Perl script that converts XF86Config-style modelines to options suitable for a fb.modes file.

Note that only one option can be successfully enabled at any particular time.

-d, --depth depth

Use the given display depth (default is 8).

-h --help

Print out a help screen and exit.

-r --rounding div

Sets the vxres divisor (default is 128).

-x --vxres X,X,X,...

Sets extra vxres values.

[FILES] refers to one or more XF86Config files. Note that all modelines must be in single-line format. If no files are given on the command line, this program reads from standard in. This program will also write to standard out.
