## X.Org Mailing Lists
So you have a question and you can't find the answer on the wiki or [[Google|http://www.google.com]].
Feel free to subscribe to the X.Org support mailing list. **Please** subscribe, don't just post your questions there. You will not receive all of the answers to your question unless you subscribe to the list.
### Please Hear Our Cry!
**You can help us to help you!**
**Before** you post your problem you should take a look at our **[[FAQ|FAQ]]** if you haven't done so already. Maybe somebody has had the same problem before and it is already answered.
When you post a report please:
* Please post in **English**. Even though people subscribed to the list may be able to speak some other languages English is the 'least common denominator' on this list.
* _Post your questions to the **X.Org** mailing list only. Do **NOT** crosspost!_
* Also please post your Xorg log file. It can typically be found here: `/var/log/Xorg.0.log`
* A description of your problem would also be helpful, along with the steps you've taken in your attempts to solve it. **You have tried to fix it yourself haven't you?** At the very least you should **READ** your log file. There is a key which explains some of the symbols used in it at the top (of the log file.)
* Please **don't** use HTML in your email! You are much less likely to receive an answer. Some supporters filter out email containing HTML as SPAM.
* Please read the advice on [[How To Ask Questions The Smart Way|http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html]].
* Please consider this outcry of an anonymous supporter:
[[!format txt """
May I ask all posters to refrain from using the subject lines:

what is this
Error log
and all other permutations on this theme.
Some creative possibilities for subject lines are:
The error message you are receiving.
The manufacturer and name of your graphic card.
The Distro and version of X you are running.
Area where the problem is occurring.
i.e. if your mouse isn't working, "Mouse Troubles"
Thanks for your support,
anonymous poster on a support mailing list.
