 There are some instructions to avoid common problems derived from having a [wiki:WebKitGTK/Chroot#Runningpythonbasedtestwithmultiprocesssupport chroot based working environment].
 
+=== Propietary graphics drivers (NVIDIA/AMD) problems ===
+
+For the tests we use Xvfb + LLVMPipe (software GL in a short), so we expect that libGL is provided by Mesa. However when proprietary graphics drivers are in use on the system, libGL is often provided by the driver.
+
+To workaround this problem you can use the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point it to where the libGL Mesa libraries are. On a Debian GNU/Linux system this can be achieved as follows:
+
+{{{
+#!sh
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/$(gcc -print-multiarch)" ./Tools/Scripts/run-webkit-tests --gtk [--debug]
+}}}
+
