How can I help debug the XFree86 X server?

XStrikeForce/FAQ - Debian Wiki

You don't need to do this when filing an initial bug report you can do it for any problem you can reproduce and follow-up to an existing bug report. The reportbug program will give you the opportunity to add information to an already-filed report when it displays the list of bugs already filed against a package.

Why is the X usage of "server" and "client" backwards from everyone else's?

tinyX Window System Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) List

However, X's client/server terminology makes perfect sense if one thinks about what resources are in demand, and what program's job it is to service requests.

How do I get the X server to find the "fixed" font?

XStrikeForce/FAQ - Debian Wiki
