Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): steam-manjaro 1.0.0.61-5
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): 5.2.11-1-MANJARO Testing
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I switched xorg driver to 30 bit. This is with nvidia GTX 1050Ti + DP cable + Eizo CS2730 monitor.

The steam client is not starting anymore. It crashes after throwing 1000+ lines of debug output to the console. With 24 bit everything is fine.

I have attached the debug out as text file.

steam-debug.log

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Add the following to your xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
     Identifier     "Screen0"
     Device         "Device0"
     Monitor        "Monitor0"
     DefaultDepth    30
     SubSection     "Display"
         Depth       30
     EndSubSection
EndSection
  1. Login to gnome, cinnamon or XFCE and start the steam client.
