EDIT: so I've got steam working in chroot, I'm just going to write below what I did, so maybe others might find it useful.

emerge --ask --noreplace x11-apps/xhost
mkdir /opt/steam
cd /opt/steam
wget FIND_CURRENT_STAGE3_LINK_FROM_https://www.gentoo.org/downloads
tar xpvf stage3-*.tar.xz --xattrs-include='*.*' --numeric-owne

emerge --noreplace app-eselect/eselect-repository dev-vcs/git
eselect repository enable steam-overlay
emaint sync -r steam-overlay
nano /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/steam
Add this line: */*::steam-overlay
emerge games-util/steam-launcher
Would you like to add these changes to your config files? [Yes/No] Yes
dispatch-conf (u: use-new)
emerge games-util/steam-launcher
emerge nvidia-drivers
# the <UID> comes from "id -u" (the 1st cmd used)
useradd -u <UID> -m -G audio,video steam
# open a new terminal to enter this outside of the chroot enviroment
cp ~/.Xauthority /opt/steam/home/steam/
# I am now able to start steam by this command
su -c 'steam -no-cef-sandbox' steam

Have you done this

Now create the Steam user with the same UID (usually 1000) as the local user. The local UID can be determined by running id -u as the local user, outside of the chroot. Using the same UID will simplify the process of granting access to the X server from inside the chroot.
(chroot) root #useradd -u <UID> -m -G audio,video steam

Yes, I had done that. If I remember correctly, I had to cp over my Xauthority file in order to solve my original post problem.
cp ~/.Xauthority /opt/steam/home/steam/
However, I've since edited my original post with a list of instructions I used.
thanks |
