+Before filing a bug against the XFree86 X server, please note the
+following:
+
+1) The problem you are experiencing may be a known issue that is discussed
+in the Debian X FAQ. If you are unfamiliar with this document, please
+consult it before filing your report.
+ XHTML version: file:///usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.xhtml
+ plain text version: file:///usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz
+
+2) Please be cautious with your bug severities. Most bugs in the XFree86 X
+server are specific to particular drivers, and often manifest only on
+particular models of display adapter. This means that while the X server
+may be unusable for you, it typically is not for the majority of users.
+Therefore, bug severities of "critical" or "grave" are seldom appropriate.
+
+In general, if the X server crashes, hangs, or locks up your system, the
+bug should be assigned a severity of "important". If you are in doubt
+about what severity to use, choose "normal". The Debian package
+maintainers will upgrade reports if they have severities that are too low
+-- you need not fear that your report will be ignored because it was filed
+with a lower severity than was appropriate.
+
+3) Problems with the keyboard are almost always due to bugs in the XKB (X
+Keyboard Extension) data files. Reports about such issues should be filed
+against the "xlibs" package, not "xserver-xfree86".
+
+4) Problems with 3D acceleration or DRI (Direct Rendering Infrastructure)
+are usually problems with the Mesa GL library, the Mesa DRI modules, or
+with the Linux kernel's direct rendering manager (DRM). Bugs in these
+systems can even lock up the computer. Here's a table to help you choose
+which package is the most appropriate for your report:
+
+ Situation Package
+ --------- -------
+ problem has nothing to do with GL/DRI xserver-xfree86
+ disabling Mesa DRI modules fixes problem xlibmesa-dri
+ GL-related problem not affected by DRI xlibmesa-gl
+ changing kernel version fixes problem kernel
+
+Note that some hardware vendors provide their own GL library
+implementations, which are not always compatible with XFree86. If you
+think the problem lies in xlibmesa-gl but that package is not installed,
+you may have just such a compatibility problem; try the command:
+ reportbug --file /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
+
+5) If you are submitting a patch -- thank you! Please make sure, however,
+that the code you are contributing is not under the XFree86 1.1 License.
+Most of XFree86 4.4 and later, and most commits to XFree86 CVS after
+2004-02-12, are under the XFree86 1.1 license. Debian unfortunately cannot
+accept such patches. The reasons for this are discussed at length in the
+Debian X FAQ, in the entry "What is the story with XFree86's license?"
+
+We appreciate your patience with this message. By following the above
+guidelines, you can help Debian help our users more effectively.
