   1 Report a Bug
   2 ============

   4 The Mesa bug database is hosted on
   5 `freedesktop.org <https://freedesktop.org>`__. The old bug database on
   6 SourceForge is no longer used.

   8 To file a Mesa bug, go to `GitLab on
   9 freedesktop.org <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues>`__

  11 Please follow these bug reporting guidelines:
  12
  13 -  Check if a new version of Mesa is available which might have fixed
  14    the problem.
  15 -  Check if your bug is already reported in the database.
  16 -  Monitor your bug report for requests for additional information, etc.
  17 -  Attach the output of running glxinfo or wglinfo. This will tell us
  18    the Mesa version, which device driver you're using, etc.
  19 -  If you're reporting a crash, try to use your debugger (gdb) to get a
  20    stack trace. Also, recompile Mesa in debug mode to get more detailed
  21    information.
  22 -  Describe in detail how to reproduce the bug, especially with games
  23    and applications that the Mesa developers might not be familiar with.
  24 -  Provide an `apitrace <https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace>`__ or
  25    simple GLUT-based test program if possible.

  27 The easier a bug is to reproduce, the sooner it will be fixed. Please do
  28 everything you can to facilitate quickly fixing bugs. If your bug report
  29 is vague or your test program doesn't compile easily, the problem may
  30 not be fixed very quickly.
