• 96fe6a210   [PATCH] fbdev: Add VESA Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) support ... Browse Code »

  The Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) is the latest standard approved by VESA
  concerning video timings generation. It addresses the limitation of GTF which
  is designed mainly for CRT displays. CRT's have a high blanking requirement
  (as much as 25% of the horizontal frame length) which artificially increases
  the pixelclock. Digital displays, on the other hand, needs to conserve the
  pixelclock as much as possible. The GTF also does not take into account the
  different aspect ratios in its calculation.

  The new function added is fb_find_mode_cvt(). It is called by fb_find_mode()
  if it recognizes a mode option string formatted for CVT. The format is:

  x[M][R][-][][i][m]

  The 'M' tells the function to calculate using CVT. On it's own, it will
  compute a timing for CRT displays at 60Hz. If the 'R' is specified, 'reduced
  blanking' computation will be used, best for flatpanels. The 'i' and the 'm'
  is for 'interlaced mode' and 'with margins' respectively.

  To determine if CVT was used, check for dmesg for something like this:

  CVT Mode - M[-R], ie: .480M3-R (800x600 reduced blanking)

  where: pix - product of xres and yres, in MB
  M - is a CVT mode
  n - the aspect ratio (3 - 4:3; 4 - 5:4; 9 - 16:9, 15:9; A - 16:10)
  -R - reduced blanking
