Trying to use steam on CentOS 7

Post by 42yeah » 2014/11/10 09:46:38

i installed CentOS and installed steam and yumed libGL
But my device is not supported by nvidia!
For the first time my computer couldn't reboot or boot, so i reinstalled CentOS
And now i am doing that again
Will this issue happened again?
I dunno if this issue is caused by libGL, or yum update
But I dont want to lose Steam in CentOS!
If you have some ways, tell me plz
And if this is the reason, and you are sure about it, tell me plz
thanks!

Sorry, I have no experience with Steam, but...

Please read the links in my signature. Don't use textspeak abbreviations, it's please, not plz.

If you do the same, same issue will happened.
I think the problem is your video card. What kind of vga do you have?

Alright, thank you very much, scottro.
I tried that again and the same issue happened, but after i typed this in tty, the desktop returned:
yum remove nvidia-x11-drv
That certainly works, but my steam cannot be launched again!
So i fetched the libGL.so.1 from the rpm directly and put it into the /usr/lib directly
And installed the libs it lacked, this time without nvidia*.
So, steam worked, but it cannot launched any OpenGL-based game!
Forgive my English and please take a full look at it.
There are an error occured when i launched steam, and it says:

OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.

For more information visit https://support.steampowered.com/kb_art ... -EYZB-7457.

From Zenity.
So, what's the solution?
If you know, please tell me.
Thanks.

Well, i don't know it, but...
My device is Microsoft's Surface Pro.
If you know something about it, you may know.
Or i can search for it...
Maybe amd? Or is AMD a video card?

P.S. And yes, the same issue happened. But how to deal with it? I really want my steam
What's more, after my remove i can sure that my device don't support nvidia-powered softwares. So the video card can't be Nvidia.

When you have a running linux, please press:

Code: Select all

lspci
command in terminal. The output will say a lot of. :)
