Xorg hosts two channels on the [[freenode|http://freenode.net/]] IRC network: #xorg and #xorg-devel. #xorg is for general discussion and user support questions, and #xorg-devel is for development discussion. We ask that you respect a few rules and guidelines when using them. 

1. Don't ask to ask, just ask. 
1. Be patient. IRC is variable-latency, and you may not always get a response immediately. 
1. That said, please don't repaste the same question continuously just because three new people joined the channel. 
1. Be prepared to supply your configuration file (almost always `/etc/X11/xorg.conf`) and log file (almost always `/var/log/Xorg.0.log`) on a paste site so we can help you troubleshoot. Two such sites are [[pastebin|http://pastebin.com]] and [[rafb|http://rafb.net/]]. 
1. Stay on topic. In particular, don't re-ask support questions in #xorg-devel just because no one answered in #xorg. 
1. Proprietary video driver support questions are off-topic. We didn't write them, we don't have the source, and we can't fix them. Use #ati or #nvidia as appropriate, even if those channels appear to be dead too. 
1. For end-user support on the open-source radeon driver there is #radeon . For the open-source intel driver, there is [[#intel-gfx|http://intellinuxgraphics.org/feedback.html]] . 
1. Have a look at the [[User FAQ|FAQ]] before asking  
etc.
