• Getting Help / Bug Reporting

Consult the README file under the section "Compiling and Installation" for complete building instructions. Under unix you just type 'make' followed by your system configuration. You can view a list of supported system configurations by typing make alone. It's easy to add new configurations if your system isn't currently supported. However, over 40 different Unix configurations are already supported.

List Charter:

The Mesa mailing list is a forum for discussing Mesa and getting help with Mesa-related problems. It is not intened to be a forum for general graphics or OpenGL discussion. There are other forums for those topics with more readers who may potentially help you.

Appropriate subjects include:

Mesa installation problems

Suspected Mesa bugs

Mesa performance issues

Mesa hardware questions

Announcements of applications using Mesa

Announcements which may be of interest to Mesa users

Inapprorate subjects include:

General graphics questions

General programming questions

General OpenGL questions

Here are some alternative forums:

Usenet newsgroups:

comp.graphics.algorithms
comp.graphics.api.opengl
comp.os.linux.x


3Dfx newsgroups:

To unsubscribe, send mail to majordomo@iqm.unicamp.br with the command unsubscribe mesa your-email-address in the body. For example:

echo "unsubscribe mesa John.Doe@JohnDoe.com" | mail majordomo@iqm.unicamp.br

If you're only interested in getting messages regarding Mesa announcements such as new versions and patches you should just subscribe to the mesa-announce list.

To subscribe, send an email message to majordomo@iqm.unicamp.br with the command subscribe mesa-announce your-email-address in the body. For example:


echo "subscribe mesa-announce John.Doe@JohnDoe.com" | mail majordomo@iqm.unicamp.br

To unsubscribe, send mail to majordomo@iqm.unicamp.br with the command unsubscribe mesa-announce your-email-address in the body. For example:


echo "unsubscribe mesa-announce John.Doe@JohnDoe.com" | mail majordomo@iqm.unicamp.br

If you have trouble using the mailing list send your question to owner-mesa@iqm.unicamp.br

If you're having installation or runtime problems with Mesa then read the documentation first! This includes the various README files included with Mesa and the Mesa FAQ. If you're still stuck ask on the Mesa mailing list. 3Dfx/Linux-related problems can be posted to the 3Dfx Linux Glide newsgroup.

If you find a bug in Mesa you should first check if there's a more recent version of Mesa or a patch on the ftp site. If you think you've found a new bug in Mesa we would certainly like to hear about it.

Please send a detailed description of the problem and if possible, a test program which demonstrates the problem to mesa-bugs@mesa3d.org. The test program should be easy to compile and use. A GLUT-based program is ideal.

Also, include which version of Mesa you're using and what kind of computer and operating system you're using. If you're using X and seeing rendering problems also mention the class/depth of X visual you're using.

An archive of the bug list messages is available.
