I just updated to kernel version 4.9.6 r1. I also updated my NVidia drivers along with it so I could have graphical output. It works relatively well, exceot for Steam. When I try to boot up Steam, it pops up a message box with this error before closing itself:

Code:

OpenGL GLX extension not supported by this display.


Here is the standard output when I run it in a terminal:

Code:

The Xorg.0.log and the Xorg.1.log that I found in /var/log can be found at http://pastebin.com/5nr3r3HP and http://pastebin.com/Y31NHU1g respectively.

Running

Code:

eselect opengl show


outputs "nvidia", and lspci -k shows my nvidia driver is loaded into my graphics card. Steam has worked before, and it is currently installed using the layman overlay. I compiled the new kernel via genkernel --menuconfig all. I have no clue how to fix this. Any ideas?

Just ideas, I'm not on nvidia myself.

- Try reinstalling nvidia driver
- Try with just one monitor, if you have more then one
- Downgrade nvidia driver

Version of your nvidia driver might help someone more experienced then me to help you.

do you have set eselect opengl to nvidia ?
I have a amd gpu, but steam fail to start on my system
I found the answer on A debian Wiki

rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6

This is the problem that the system detected:
Code:
[    77.220] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
[    77.220] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
[    77.220] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
[    77.221] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
[    77.221] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.


BTW what's the timestamps on the Xorg.0.log and Xorg.1.log, are they up to date? Which one is accurate?

Did nvidia-drivers get remerged properly after the kernel upgrade? Did the nvidia kernel module get loaded in, or was there something in dmesg that indicated a problem? These closed source drivers always have some problem when kernels get upgraded...

I'm mostly using an ATI card. The nvidia cards I have are ancient (GeForce4 era) so I'm not sure if the same things apply...

do you have nouveau driver enabled in the kernel? it seems to conflict with the nvidia-drivers, also make sure riva framebuffer is disabled in the kernel.

@ topic poster

output of
Code:
glxinfo |grep direct\ rendering


2nd: possible way, when you have time and bandwidth for your network:

nuke all steam related . folders

check all those hidden folders. => e.g. mc in a shell works awesome.

check /home/user/.local
... /.config

/.steam or what it is called

--

steam will reinstall and most likey it will work. i did that sevearl times recently when something went bad.

only drawback, everything is downloaded again 300mb for steam client, xx mb for updating steam, full download of the games

--

sometimes steam hangs on startup. nuke it after 5 minutes and try again. sometimes steam forgot hte user account, relogin..

--

it helps when you use

a proper kernel name
a proper naming of your kernel
editing hte bootloader yourself instead of using scripts of mass descrution

I assume you did not named your kernel, rebuild that kernel and that conflicts wiht your module directory. could be easily fixed when you set

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION in your kernel differently each time you build a kernel, name your kernel accordingly.

I use for example a datecode

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-03-04-2017"

I name my kernel

4.9.20-gentoo-03-04-2017

module folder

Code:
ASUS-G75VW roman # ls /lib/modules
4.9.18-gentoo-28-03-2017  4.9.20-gentoo-03-04-2017
