Hi,
yeah , I also upgrade all my graphics drives, X11, Mesa, etc to try
steam, but after other announcement, I find out that is not necessary (I
do a yum distribution-synchronization) and works with F17 drives but I
have an Intel, see if is the same in your case:

http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=games&package=steam

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/Fedora_17/games.repo
yum install steam


Thanks Sergio for the response.

I also have used the opensuse packages to install Steam.

When I try to run steam I get the following error:

PROBLEM: You appear to have OpenGL 1.4.0, but we need at least 2.0.0!
Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError'! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated.

Looking on line, these appear to be offered by the nvidia 310.19 or never version.  rpmfusion is currently providing 304.
