The other day I was trying to get steam working, however was segfaulting.

I had xinerama installed for dual monitor support since awesome 3.5 requires it.

I installed awesome 3.4 instead because xinerama was giving me other issues.

Now I noticed steam started working. However I am not sure if it is because of xinerama or awesome 3.5 or something else. I will investigate when I have time however I thought I'd raise a issue here in case someone else is having the same issue.

Same problem : steam segfaulting at startup with xinerama enabled, working flawlessly without. (awesome not installed, so it must come from xinerama)

Xinerama is deprecated. Please use XRandR.

Closing as general video driver quality from 2013 is no longer relevant.
