    NAME

    gtf – calculate VESA GTF mode lines  

    SYNOPSIS

    gtf h-resolution v-resolution refresh [-v|–verbose] [-f|–fbmode] [-x|–xorgmode]  

    DESCRIPTION

    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 Xorg xorg.conf(5) 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|–xorgmode
    Print the mode parameters as Xorg-style mode lines. This is the default format.
    -f|–fbset
    Print the mode parameters in a format suitable for fbset(8).
