NAME

       vga_guesstiming - calculate a timing line for the given resolution

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       while still having a higher resolution is found, and then scaled down to the requested mode.

       while still having a lower resolution is found, and then scaled down to the requested mode.
