About:
Libxcvt is a library that provides functions to generate VESA CVT (Coordinated Video Timings) standard timing modelines for video modes. It calculates the necessary parameters for creating optimized, power-efficient video timings for modern displays. This enables applications and display servers to configure resolutions and refresh rates according to industry standards.
Key Features:
  • Generates VESA CVT standard compliant timing modelines
  • Supports reduced blanking timings for power efficiency
  • Lightweight C library suitable for embedded systems
  • Provides standalone utility for command-line usage
Use Cases:
  • Display server implementations for calculating valid video modes
  • Embedded systems development requiring standard display timing generation
  • Graphics driver development and testing utilities
  • Custom resolution configuration tools for Linux systems
Alternatives:
  • xorg-server – Xorg includes similar timing code but Libxcvt provides a focused, reusable library
  • libdrm – Lower-level direct rendering manager library, doesn't focus specifically on CVT timing generation
