*SOLVED* More of "OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering"

So yesterday I decided to switch back to Catalyst from the open source drivers, because I got a new R9 290 and the open source drivers just aren't good enough for it yet.  Everything is pretty much fine at this point, except Steam gives me that horrible error saying "OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems."

I have done the following:
* Uninstalled xf86-video-ati
* Used alucryd's repository
* Ran "steam --reset"
* I have the 32-bit libraries for mesa, as well as many other things
* Followed all of this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/st … ime_issues

So I'm out of ideas now.  I had this issue when using the open source drivers but I eventually got it working by removing things like libsdtc++ from the steam directory (and from games).

EDIT:
I managed to solve this - you have to install lib32-catalyst-libgl.  I could have sworn I didn't have to do this in the past, but it removed my problem so I guess I need to now.
