Description-en: Create arbitrary-res modelines using hardware parameters
Videogen is a small but nice utility to create modelines you can
insert into your xorg.conf and fb.modes files.
.
Modeline is created by telling the program the resolution you want
and your video hardware parameters (maximum video adapter
bandwidth, maximum HCF and VCF of the monitor etc).
.
Note that for most modern installations, Xorg will handle its own modesetting
automatically, and you don't need videogen to generate any Modelines.
.
The tool 'some_modes' may help you to create some common modes fast.
