I have had this problem with the fglrx driver for a while. Not sure why it isn't fixed. I have installed Debian, upgraded to jessie/sid and installed the fglrx-driver. This is the output when I try to launch Steam:

Is there a workaround to downgrade to fix this or?

On 13.10 my graphics drivers are screwed.

You should report this to AMD.

Similar crash for me. Was working fine last week.

johnny99, your crash is #3215 and is not an AMD driver problem.

Jjohnny99 2014-03-20 github

Yes it was thank you.

Today I installed the newest SteamOS DVD on my computer. I was prepared for breakage, but it hit hard anyway. Thanks to this crash here (the fglrx driver installed automatically) I had to wrestle with lightdm that looped in effort to start and steam that refused to install. The second I used update-alternatives to switch to mesa, the installer rendered with swrast and now is in middle of download.

EDIT

I am not sure what I said about swrast is true anymore. However, it is a fact that the Steam installed correctly. Now I switched back to fglrx and surprise! It still works!

This is fixed in the latest AMD driver (14.04) http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86. This is currently shipping in Debian jessie and we just pushed it out for SteamOS alchemist as well.

Nothing extracted yet.
