Hello,

I have been having all kinds of issues of late.

I wanted to play some games today but when I tried to open steam it did nothing.

I ran it in the terminal and this is what is shows:
Code:
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1447125378)
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Then I reinstalled steam and made sure that all the dependencies where all there.
Later, I saw a post that they said it was the nvidia driver needed to be updated. So I made sure that I am using the latest version:
Code:
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-358.13 ~amd64

I restarted my system and tried to start steam again, same error.

Anyone have an idea what is going on?

Thanks

Maybe bug 531990. The ebuilds in gamerlay and steam overlay should be fixed already.
