#title Debugging X
<<Include(Debugging/Header)>>

The X Windows System is a critical component in the Ubuntu operating
system. X is not without its bugs, but fortunately debugging X issues
is not rocket science.

The vast majority of Ubuntu X issues fall into one of several distinct
categories, and based on the way they manifest, there are several
different tactics that can be employed in a nearly paint-by-numbers
fashion to isolate them.

Even non-developers can help! The goal of this handbook is to give
folks a toolset for rendering these bugs easily solvable.
