Like everything else I run into in linux there is the assumption on that 
wiki page that I know where to do what they say to do. Clear as mud. Do 
not make the assumption I know where to do things..........most normal 
people would start with "Open X, do Y, send file Z to this 
address/attach to your bug report, etc." You at least got the part about 
where I send the report. The wiki page does not tell me where to do what 
it says to do nor which of several "to do's" I should be 
doing.........I'm guessing the Xorg widget since Xorg is the related 
process.

One HUGE turnoff for Windows users trying to migrate to linux is the 
blanket assumption by linux types we know where to do things or can read 
shorthand like go to ~/.wine instead of saying to a new user "go to 
~/.wine, ~ means root folder," linux people assume everyone just 
automatically knows that as soon as linux boots.

I really would like to help but people continuing to assume I know how 
and where to do things is seriously starting to tick me off. Start at 
the beginning with step 1, not the second, third or fourth step. Also 
learn to index the documentation, wading through page after page, after 
page of stuff I do not need to know is pointless, being able to find in 
a proper index the subject I want to learn about is the way to get me to 
read stuff.
