  <H2><A NAME="8"></A>6. Troubleshooting</H2>
<p>Surprised to see this section directly in the beginning? We have put it here
because chances are best here not to overlook it. This does not mean that
you will necessarily encounter trouble when installing XFree86, but be warned:
the following sections are <b>IMPORTANT</b> and neglecting one or more things
out of impatience or sloppiness will leave you with a non-working X11
system and us with unnecessary problems.</p>
<p>Still, due to the incredibly large number of hardware configurations, there 
may be some special situations and configurations where the below description
is not successful. If this happens, read - I repeat <b>READ</b> - the list
of ``frequently asked questions'' (FAQ) which has meanwhile evolved to
a troubleshooting guide. The latest version is always at
<A href="http://set.gmd.de/~veit/os2/x11os2faq.html">http://set.gmd.de/~veit/os2/x11os2faq.html</A> .</p>
<p>Maybe - but we found you must be very creative - you find a bug. Consult the
page <A href="http://set.gmd.de/~veit/os2/xf86bugs.html">http://set.gmd.de/~veit/os2/xf86bugs.html</A> 
whether it is already known. If not, you have a case and should report it
to XFree86 (<em>xfree86@xfree86.org</em>). Please refer to the FAQ about the
information to be provided for a complete problem report.</p>
<p>The recommended newsgroup for setup questions is <em>comp.os.os2.setup.misc</em>.
I read this group, so it won't speed up the process or enforce anything if
you post to other groups, or forward the report to my mail address as well
or to xfree86@xfree86.org.</p>
<p>So, not to discourage you completely, the setup section begins:</p>
