34If 'M' is specified in the mode_option argument (after <yres> and before
35<bpp> and <refresh>, if specified) the timings will be calculated using
36VESA(TM) Coordinated Video Timings instead of looking up the mode from a table.
37If 'R' is specified, do a 'reduced blanking' calculation for digital displays.
38If 'i' is specified, calculate for an interlaced mode. And if 'm' is
39specified, add margins to the calculation (1.8% of xres rounded down to 8
40pixels and 1.8% of yres).
