Team Fortress 2 crash on startup

[Dr. Steel]

I am using Kubuntu 12.04 LTS x64, with latest nVidia drivers (310), and my TF2 blinks black window for a split of second, and then just nothing, also my steam client crashes when trying to switch to big picture. I know that many have similar issue, but maybe somebody can give usefull advice?

I have a similar problem. On my Kubuntu 12.10 with NVidia driver 304.48 I get an error saying "Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glColorMaskIndexedEXT'| Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated.".
I tried 310 driver version but it appeared to be not suitable for my GF6600. Could it be that this driver version is unsupported ?

try'ed the "-novid" option?

I have the same problem, i try with -nojoy (see on another forum) and with -novid, nothing changes.

I've tried both options (-novid and -nojoy) and still no success.
