Yeah, I'm sure there are reasons, but I don't know what they are. drm_cvt_mode seems to be calculating various frequencies and timings related to refreshing real world monitors, and this seems to be defined by some VESA standard. Maybe the rounding down is because the real-world monitors or VESA require it. Or maybe other parts of the kernel/userspace rely on this rounding down. I unfortunately don't know :( Any guidance there whether that's ok, or whether I should approach this differently would be very useful. Christophe
