Reporting X11 related bugs

Unless mentioned otherwise use component X.Org for these.

What are X11 related bugs

• Your monitor remains black, shows scrambled output, or is driven in the wrong resolution or with wrong refresh rates.
• The Xserver freezes or even the whole computer freezes, notably during X11 startup.
• Fonts are rendered wrong in all(!) applications.
• Rendering artifacts, e.g. stray pixels or random patterns, even on a non supported resolution.
• SaX2 related bugs (use component SaX2 for these).

What is not an X11 related bug:

• Certain applications behave strangely or crash (most likely: KDE, Gnome or X11 application bug - use component X11 Applications for the latter).
• You have installed the binary only drivers from ATI or NVIDIA and experience problems, but the open source alternatives radeon and nv work. Ask these vendors for help in this case. In case you really think it's a SUSE related Bug you can use the component X11 3rd Party for these kind of bugs as well. But note that these bugreports are handled with lower priority!

What to include in bug reports

• As always: a good description of what this is all about and how to reproduce.
• /etc/X11/xorg.conf
• /var/log/Xorg.0.log if running a regular X.org session
  /var/log/Xorg.93.log (and /var/log/Xgl.log if it exists) if running Xgl
• If the Xserver crashed and has been restarted afterwards, use /var/log/Xorg.*.log.old instead.
• The output of rpm -q xorg-x11-server xorg-x11-driver-video (version numbers)
• The output of hwinfo --gfx.
• If the bug is related to monitors remaining black or is driven with wrong parameters:
  the output of hwinfo --monitor, executed in runlevel 3 (!).
• If the bug is SaX2 related:
  /var/log/SaX.log

Please do not tar or zip these files, but use text/plain attachments. It's much easier to work with logfiles this way.
