NAME
       cvt - calculate VESA CVT mode lines

SYNOPSIS
       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 res‐
       olutions, a modeline adhering to the CVT standard is printed. This modeline can be included in Xorg xorg.conf(5)

OPTIONS
       refresh Provide	a vertical refresh rate in Hz.	The CVT standard prefers either 50.0, 60.0, 75.0 or 85.0Hz.  The de‐
	       fault is 60.0Hz.

       -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	dot‐
	       clock. Not for Cathode Ray Tube based displays though.
