+[\fIoption\fR] [\fIfiles\fR]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.I modeline2fb
+is a simple Perl script that converts xorg.conf style modelines to options
+suitable for a fb.modes file.
+.PP
+Note that only one option can be successfully enabled at any particular time.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-depth\fR \fIdepth\fR
+Use the given display depth (default is 8).
+.TP
+\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-rounding\fR \fIdiv\fR
+Sets the vxres divisor (default is 128).
+.TP
+\fB\-x\fR, \fB\-\-vxres\fR \fIX\fR,\fIX\fR,\fIX\fR,\fI...\fR
+Sets extra vxres values.
+.TP
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
+Print out a help screen and exit.
+.PP
+[\fIfiles\fR] refers to one or more xorg.conf files. Note that all modelines
+must be in single-line format. If no files are given on the command line,
+this program reads from standard in. This program will also write to
+standard out.
