💖 SOME_MODES(1) 💖

okay so bestie, this is some_modes, living in the General Commands Manual section, and she is here to serve you the mode lines you didn't know you needed ✨

✨ NAME ✨

some_modes — generate common Modelines for Xorg and fbset 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

some_modes

no args, no flags, she just runs. icon behavior fr fr 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So some_modes is lowkey a wrapper for videogen(1). That's the whole vibe. 🦋

The way it works is: it interactively asks you for your monitor parameters — like, it literally talks to you, group-chat style, but for monitors 🙈 — and then it prints out commonly-used mode lines for you to use with Xorg (or its predecessor, XFree86, if we're being nostalgic 💀) and with fbset.

tl;dr: you answer questions about your monitor, it hands you mode lines. slay. periodt. 👑

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • ~/.videogen — this is where your input gets stashed between invocations, so you're not re-typing everything every single time like a menace 💖
