##  Your HDMI monitor may support only a limited set of formats. To find out
##  which formats are supported, use the following method.
##  1) Set the output format to VGA 60Hz (hdmi_group=1 hdmi_mode=1) and boot up
##     the Raspberry Pi
##  2) Enter the following command to give a list of CEA supported modes
##         /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -m CEA
##  3) Enter the following command to give a list of DMT supported modes
##         /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -m DMT
##  4) Enter the following command to show your current state
##         /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s
##  5) Enter the following commands to dump more detailed information from your
##     monitor
##         /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -d edid.dat
##         /opt/vc/bin/edidparser edid.dat
##
##     The edid.dat should also be provided when troubleshooting problems with
##     the default HDMI mode

##  Overclocking Settings

##  ARM, SDRAM and GPU each have their own PLLs can can be unrelated
##  frequencies.
##
##  The GPU core, h264, v3d and isp share a PLL, so need to have related
##  frequencies.
##  PLL will be set to:
##    pll_freq = core_freq * 2^n, for smallest n satisfying pll_freq > 600MHz
##
##  GPU core, h264, v3d and isp should all be integer divisors of PLL freq.
##  So if core_freq=480, then pll_freq=960.
##  That would allow a v3d_freq/h264_freq/v3d_freq of 320 with an integer
##  divider of 3.
