Steam needs xorg to be build with glx support.
Xorg with USE="minimal" has glx support disabled.

| Is this a problem report? If so, with which packages and versions are you reporting a problem? A quick eix steam shows nothing that looks likely, so this does not seem to be a Gentoo Portage problem. What did you see that leads you to believe there is a problem, and what exactly do you want the maintainer to change? |

I am reporting a problem, so yes.

These are the versions installed on my system:
| Code: | games-util/steam-meta-0-r20220320
x11-base/xorg-server-21.1.8 |

If I try to start steam with xorg compiled without glx support, it errors out and doesn't start.

No need for the maintainer to change anything, as I have an xorg ebuild in my overlay. I just wanted to make sure this is known.

No such package "games-util/steam-meta" |
That's why this was moved to Unsupported Software. |

| As I read the ebuild, the only supported way to lack glx is to build with USE=minimal. If you are not seeking to have the maintainer change something, then who are you wanting to know about this? It looks to me like the right fix is that the steam ebuild needs to depend on x11-base/xorg-server[-minimal] so that the user cannot choose USE=minimal. |

I would like to see a fix, but I won't insist.
The way I approached this in my overlay was to separate out glx as USE="glx" and only toggle that, as steam doesn't need everything else turned on.

| Have you notified the maintainer(s) of the steam overlay about this? There is no guarantee they read this forum and will see your thread here. |

I will, but the fix should be implemented in the xorg ebuild.

What exactly is there to fix? Since minimal is specifically disabling glx, it would seem this is according to plans.
Is it that you've finally found something that is too minimal for you? |

Steam doesn't work without glx. But steam works without dri and glamor.

There are plenty of things too minimal for me. One example is minimal nano.
