+.TH CVT 1 __vendorversion__
+.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.

+.SH NAME
+gtf - calculate VESA GTF mode lines
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B gtf

+.I v-resolution
+.I refresh
+.RB [ \-v | \-\-verbose ]
+.RB [ \-f | \-\-fbmode ]
+.RB [ \-x | \-\-xorgmode ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I 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 __xservername__
+.B __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__)
+file, and mode parameters suitable for the Linux
+.B fbset(8)
+utility.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP 8
+.BR \-v | \-\-verbose
+Enable verbose printouts This shows a trace for each step of the
+computation.
+.TP 8
+.BR \-x | \-\-xorgmode
+Print the mode parameters as __xservername__-style mode lines. This is the
+default format.
+.TP 8
+.BR \-f | \-\-fbset
+Print the mode parameters in a format suitable for
+.BR fbset(8) .

+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) implementation of the GTF Timing Standard is
+available at <ftp://ftp.vesa.org/pub/GTF/VTF_V1R1.xls>.
