gtf1x

Calculate vesa gtf mode lines

Usage

gtf h-resolution v-resolution refresh [{-v | --verbose}] [{-f | --fbmode}] [{-x | --xf86mode}]

Overview

Gtf is a utility for calculating VESA GTF modes. Given the desired horizontal and vertical resolutions and refresh rate (in Hz), the parameters for a matching VESA GTF mode are printed out. Two output formats are supported: mode lines suitable for the XFree86 XF86Config-4(5x) file, and mode parameters suitable for the Linux fbset(8) utility.

Options

-v|--verbose

Enable verbose printouts This shows a trace for each step of the computation.

-x|--xf86mode

Print the mode parameters as XFree86-style mode lines. This is the default format.

-f|--fbset

Print the mode parameters in a format suitable for fbset(8).
