-fb.modes \- frame buffer modes file
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I /etc/fb.modes
-contains an unlimited number of video mode descriptions. The general format
-of a video mode is:

-.SH OPTIONS
-geometry options:
-.RS
-.TP
-.I xres
-visible horizontal resolution (in pixels)
-.TP
-.I yres
-visible vertical resolution (in pixels)
-.TP
-.I vxres
-virtual horizontal resolution (in pixels)
-.TP
-.I vyres
-virtual vertical resolution (in pixels)
-.TP
-.I depth
-display depth (in bits per pixel)
-.RE
-.PP
-timing options:
-.RS
-.TP
-.I pixclock
-length of one pixel (in picoseconds)
-.TP
-.I left
-left margin (in pixels)
-.TP
-.I right
-right margin (in pixels)
-.TP
-.I upper
-upper margin (in pixel lines)
-.TP
-.I lower
-lower margin (in pixel lines)
-.TP
-.I hslen
-horizontal sync length (in pixels)
-.TP
-.I vslen
-vertical sync length (in pixel lines)
-.RE
-.PP
-other options:
-.RS
-the first value of this options is the default
-.TP
-.IR \fBhsync "\ {" low | high }
-the horizontal sync polarity
-.TP
-.IR \fBvsync "\ {" low | high }
-the vertical sync polarity
-.TP
-.IR \fBcsync "\ {" low | high }
-the composite sync polarity
-.TP
-.IR \fBextsync "\ {" false | true }
-enable or disable external resync. If enabled the sync timings are not
-generated by the frame buffer device and must be provided externally
-instead. Note that this option may not be supported by every frame buffer
-device
-.TP
-.IR \fBlaced "\ {" false | true }
-enable or disable interlace. If enabled the display will be split in two
-frames, each frame contains only even and odd lines respectively. These two
-frames will be displayed alternating, this way twice the lines can be
-displayed and the vertical frequency for monitor stays the same, but the
-visible vertical frequency gets halved
-.TP
-.IR \fBdouble "\ {" false | true }
-enable or disable doublescan. If enabled every line will be displayed twice
-and this way the horizontal frequency can easily be doubled, so that the
-same resolution can be displayed on different monitors, even if the
-horizontal frequency specification differs. Note that this option may not be
-supported by every frame buffer device

-Generally a frame buffer display is organized as follows:

-To get the vertical frequency vtotal must eventually adjusted. If the
-display is laced, vtotal must be halved or if the display is a doublescan
-one, vtotal must be doubled. Now we can calculate the length of one frame
