[SOLVED] Nouveau and Steam

When I try to run steam with the nouveau driver (the Nvidia driver causes GDM not to start), steam stated this and hangs.

libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

I thought I had all the required packages installed.  Including the lib32 packages (lib32-mesa-dri).

Re: [SOLVED] Nouveau and Steam

There is no lib32-mesa-dri package.. was that a typo?

Please post the output of

pacman -Qs mesa
