12                        const struct fb_videomode * default_mode,

DESCRIPTION

38       Finds a suitable video mode, starting with the specified mode in
39       mode_option with fallback to default_mode. If default_mode fails, all
40       modes in the video mode database will be tried.
41
42       Valid mode specifiers for mode_option:
43
44       <xres>x<yres>[M][R][-<bpp>][@<refresh>][i][m] or
45       <name>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]
46
47       with <xres>, <yres>, <bpp> and <refresh> decimal numbers and <name> a
48       string.
49
50       If 'M' is present after yres (and before refresh/bpp if present), the
51       function will compute the timings using VESA(tm) Coordinated Video
52       Timings (CVT). If 'R' is present after 'M', will compute with reduced
53       blanking (for flatpanels). If 'i' is present, compute interlaced mode.
54       If 'm' is present, add margins equal to 1.8% of xres rounded down to 8
55       pixels, and 1.8% of yres. The char 'i' and 'm' must be after 'M' and
56       'R'. Example:
57
58       1024x768MR-860m - Reduced blank with margins at 60Hz.

NOTE

61       The passed struct var is _not_ cleared! This allows you to supply
62       values for e.g. the grayscale and accel_flags fields.
63
64       Returns zero for failure, 1 if using specified mode_option, 2 if using
65       specified mode_option with an ignored refresh rate, 3 if default mode
66       is used, 4 if fall back to any valid mode.
