+.SH NAME
+cvt - calculate VESA CVT mode lines
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B cvt
+.RB [ \-v | \-\-verbose ]
+.RB [ \-r | \-\-reduced ]
+.I h-resolution
+.I v-resolution
+.RB [ refresh ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Cvt
+is a utility for calculating VESA Coordinated Video Timing modes. Given the
+desired horizontal and vertical resolutions, a modeline adhering to the CVT
+standard is printed. This modeline can be included in __xservername__
+.B __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__)
+.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP 8
+.BR refresh
+Provide a vertical refresh rate in kHz. The CVT standard prefers either 50.0,
+60.0, 75.0 or 85.0kHz. The default is 60.0kHz.
+.TP 8
+.BR \-v | \-\-verbose
+Warn verbosely when a given mode does not completely correspond with CVT
+standards.
+.TP 8
+.BR \-r | \-\-reduced
+Create a mode with reduced blanking. This allows for higher frequency signals,
+with a lower or equal dotclock. Not for Cathode Ray Tube based displays though.
