Re: [Solved] Problem trying to start Steam.

Hello,

I suggest you narrow it down and post what you have tried so far in order to solve it. This is so that it will be more specific to your problem, and much easier for readers to help you, otherwise they will just have the same information you allready do - yielded from searching on the error output.

"libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so" - example: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=181743
"libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast"

swrast is a one of the fallback software render that Mesa use if it can't use its hardware accelerated drivers, see http://www.mesa3d.org/faq.html#part3

Regards
Martin

It is advised to follow the How to post guide when posting on the Arch forum. If one consciously jumps over these elementary steps like reading the wiki and providing necessary information about the problem, one can be regarded as a Help Vampire.

Please search before posting and consult the wiki. This took me 10 seconds to find.
