I have a piece of software I like and enjoy using. I want to help make sure the new version is well tested by making a testcase to ensure functionality and prevent regressions. How can I contribute a manual testcase for a package?
balloons's questions
How can I run a nested accelerated xserver? I've tried using Xephyr, including using the -fakexa but nothing seems to work. I also tried xnest, but xephyr was intended to be it's replacement and it too doesn't offer acceleration.
For Xephyr, it appears like work was done in the past to have xephyr support acceleration. It seems this work was never mainlined and/or no longer compiles against the current codebase.

Note that although I'm asking about xserver, I would be happy to hear about wayland, mir or whatever else that is capable of running nested with acceleration.
How do I contribute an autopkg test for a ubuntu package?
I've downloaded a ubuntu image and I would like to run some tests against that image. How can I test the image on my machine? What tests are available to run and how can I report my results and bugs?
