Take a look at: Name xvidtune - video mode tuner for XFree86 Synopsis xvidtune [ -prev | -next | -unlock | ] ] [ -toolkitoption ... ] Description Xvidtune is a client interface to the XFree86 X server video mode extension (XFree86-VidModeExtension). When given one of the non-toolkit options, xvidtune provides a command line interface to either switch the video mode.
Without any options (or with only toolkit options) it presents the user with various buttons and sliders that can be used to interactively adjust existing video modes. It will also print the settings in a format suitable for inclusion in an XF86Config file. Normally the XFree86 X servers only allow changes to be made with the XFree86-VidModeExtension from clients connected via a local connection type. Note: The original mode settings can be restored by pressing the `R' key, and this can be used to restore a stable screen in situations where the screen becomes unreadable. -- David C.
