     33      1.1  mrg </p>
     34      1.1  mrg 
     35      1.1  mrg <ul>
     36      1.1  mrg <li>Check if a new version of Mesa is available which might have fixed
     37      1.1  mrg the problem.
     38      1.1  mrg <li>Check if your bug is already reported in the database.
     39      1.1  mrg <li>Monitor your bug report for requests for additional information, etc.
     40  1.1.1.2  mrg <li>Attach the output of running glxinfo or wglinfo.
     41  1.1.1.2  mrg This will tell us the Mesa version, which device driver you're using, etc.
     42      1.1  mrg <li>If you're reporting a crash, try to use your debugger (gdb) to get a stack
     43      1.1  mrg trace. Also, recompile Mesa in debug mode to get more detailed information.
     44      1.1  mrg <li>Describe in detail how to reproduce the bug, especially with games
     45      1.1  mrg and applications that the Mesa developers might not be familiar with.
     46  1.1.1.2  mrg <li>Provide an <a href="https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace">apitrace</a>
     47  1.1.1.2  mrg or simple GLUT-based test program if possible.
     48      1.1  mrg </ul>

     55      1.1  mrg <p>
     56      1.1  mrg The easier a bug is to reproduce, the sooner it will be fixed.
     57      1.1  mrg Please do everything you can to facilitate quickly fixing bugs.
     58      1.1  mrg If your bug report is vague or your test program doesn't compile
     59      1.1  mrg easily, the problem may not be fixed very quickly.
