 |
|
I've had all sorts of problems trying to get steam to run from the steam-overlay. Launching the steam client would result in it hanging with:
| Code: |
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
|
After a few days of searching for a fix, I finally came across a solution.
Step 1 - create the file 99-nvidia.conf in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and add these lines:
| Code: |
/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib
/usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib
|
Then update the environment:
Now launch steam as your regular user, and you should be good to go. Hope that helps someone - it was driving me mad

I did the /etc/ld.so.conf.d update, that wasn't enough, I was still receiving the errors.
However, I added the use flag multilib to nvidia-drivers in addition to the ld.so.conf.d update, and that seemed to resolve the "failed to load driver: swrast" for me.
