Short description:

The manual page and help for the gtf linux command. Gtf is a utility for calculating VESA GTF modes. Based on the specified horizontal and vertical resolutions as well as the refresh rate (in Hz), the program returns the corresponding VESA GTF mode parameters. Gtf supports two output formats: Xorg returns the appropriate mode lines, or mode parameters, which fbset utilities.

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 verti‐
       cal 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).

SEE ALSO
       xorg.conf(5), cvt(1)

       This program is based on the Generalized Timing Formula (GTF(TM)) Standard  Version:  1.0,
       Revision:  1.0.   The GTF Excel(TM) spreadsheet, a sample (and the definitive) implementa‐
       tion of the GTF Timing Standard is available at <ftp://ftp.vesa.org/pub/GTF/VTF_V1R1.xls>.

Help output

gtf --help
usage: gtf x y refresh [-v|--verbose] [-f|--fbmode] [-x|--xorgmode]

            x : the desired horizontal resolution (required)
            y : the desired vertical resolution (required)
      refresh : the desired refresh rate (required)
 -v|--verbose : enable verbose printouts (traces each step of the computation)
  -f|--fbmode : output an fbset(8)-style mode description
 -x|--xorgmode : output an Xorg-style mode description (this is the default
                if no mode description is requested)
