Steam is not querying for XFree86-DRI. The most likely candidate would be teh graphics driver, and you'd need to contact AMD about that.
Note also that Steam is a 32-bit app so you need a functioning 32-bit OpenGL, you may be missing some 32-bit libs.
Hi, he XFree86 message wasn't my major focus. As I mentioned, debugging the start-up / ldd-ing binaries with the environment setup by steam's launcher scripts set didn't reveal any actually missing libs.
Also ... other 32-bit OpenGL applications (Trine-2, prey) seem to run o.k.
It's not a missing lib, it's an extension implementation inside of the X server.
Hello @wackston, are you still experiencing this issue with an up to date system?
No,
Alls well again these days.
Best regards,
Andrew

Investigations with DEBUGGER=strace, and ldd-ing for missing libraries etc didn't reveal anything untoward.
.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam is execve-ed.
steamui.so and a bunch of shared libraries are loaded,
X server is polled for a bunch of extensions strings,
a font "mut-clearlyu" is queried and
the connection to X is then shutdown and an there's an orderly exit.
Any suggestions for further investigations or is this a known problem?
