videogen

[Paolo Pantaleo <paolopantaleo@gmail.com>]

I was cheating my ModeLine's, so I thought that some_modes and
videogen could help me, but i found that videogen is very buggy (seems
to be evene unfinished), for exaple

paolo@wood:~$ videogen -v
could not open configuration file "~/.videogen" (errno=2)

error: no modes (resolutions) have been specified

(note that package version is 0.32-1)
well if i ask for version it should not complain i didn't specify what
modes i want. But also a lot of other more severe bugs, for example

videogen -m=800x600 -mdc=200 -mhf=70 -mvf=120 -dvf=100 -hsp=1
Modeline "800x600" 64.72 800 824 1024 1024 600 602 605 632  # 65 MHz,
63.2 kHz, 100.0 Hz

ithink that the two 1024 are wrong, or at least unexpected,
moreover this
videogen -m=800x600 -mdc=200 -mhf=70 -mvf=120 -dvf=100 -hsp=1 -vsp=200
is invalid, because it do not like vertical sync pulse = 200 (why?)
