NAME

xmode - Calculate X11 Modelines

SYNOPSIS

xmode [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

xmode calculates X11 modelines according to your specifi
cations the output from xmode contains three lines where
the first line print the horizontal sync value in Khz and
the second line the refresh rate in Hz The third and last
line is the modeline to be used within the
/etc/X11/XF86Config file

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

Available command line options are the following:

-d dacspeed
RamDac speed to use for the Modeline
-r refresh rate in Hz
Set basic refresh rate to use for the Modeline
-s horizontal sync rate in Khz
Set basic fhorizontal sync rate to use for the Mod
eline
-x X dimension in pixels
Set X resolution
-y Y dimension in pixels
Set Y resolution
-n Do not call the check geometry algorithm. This
algorithm tries to put the image to the center but
this will change the basic values for refreshand/or horizontal sync rate. If you want the mode
line to be exactly at the given frequencies use
this option.
-f Calculate Framebuffer modes instead of X11 modes
which can be used with a fbset call, if the kernel
framebuffer is able to swtich the mode

EXAMPLE

xmode -x 1024 -y 768 -r 80

58 Khz
73 Hz
Modeline "1024x768" 82 1024 1040 1216 1400 768 768 777 802
