Introduction to libxcvt

libxcvt is a library providing a standalone version of the X server implementation of the VESA CVT standard timing modelines generator. It is meant to be a direct replacement to the version formerly provided by the Xorg server.

libxcvt Dependencies

Required
Xorg build environment (should be set for the following instructions to work)

Installation of libxcvt

Install libxcvt by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&
