After last kernel update OpenGL not working (radeonsi)

uname -a
Linux arch 3.14.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 13 16:41:39 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Just updated the Kernel and Steam and the games are not loading and giving me opengl errors. This didn't happen just before I updated the kernel.

When opening Steam I get this error:

OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.

For more information visit https://support.steampowered.com/kb_art … -EYZB-7457.

When launching a game (Dota2) I get this error:

Could not find the required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError'! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated.

As said, this happened just after the Kernel update. I just reinstalled it and there's no error or anything.

Provide dmesg? Downgrade kernel and see if it fixes it?

Have you seen this thread about Steam issues with a recent radeon upgrade? Might have been pulled in at the same time you did the kernel upgrade.

Re: After last kernel update OpenGL not working (radeonsi)

I'm on Nvidia hardware but I'm also suddenly getting the same error after an update so it seems likely this is related.  Per your suggestion I downgraded the kernel (and I know it worked with this version):

uname -a
Linux ShawkatArch 3.14.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Apr 27 11:28:44 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

but I'm getting the same error.  However my glxinfo indicates direct rendering is OK:

glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

glxinfo32 | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

Portion of Steam errors:

libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/nouveau_dri.so failed (/home/cookcd/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/nouveau_dri.so))
libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau

Are you sure post #8 from andrewd18 doesn't apply? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p1412995

Re: After last kernel update OpenGL not working (radeonsi)

Sorry, I thought that looked like something Radeon specific.  I tried it and it also worked for me.  To anyone else, this fix also worked for an Nvidia card with Nouveau drivers.

Thanks for the help!
