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.
On my nvidia test computer which have F18, I got OpenGL 2.1.2 with
NVIDIA 304
glxinfo | grep -i opengl
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6500/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 304.64
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
OpenGL extensions:
I going test it now, I will write something if can't install it.
