TF2 problem.

[Денис]

I'm trying to play Team Fortress 2.
When starting it the following error occurs: "Required OpenGL extension " GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode" is not supported. Please update your OpenGL driver. " (Ubuntu 12.04 32bit proprietary driver, Radeon HD 6470M)

Same here:

Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64
Radeon HD 7870
Proprietary fglrx drivers installed from packages, version 8.960-0ubuntu1.1

The GL_EXT_texture_sRGB extension is there, but not the GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode one (not sure what's the difference though):

$ glxinfo | grep GL_EXT_texture_sRGB
    GL_EXT_texture_rectangle, GL_EXT_texture_sRGB,

[Chumba]

Exact same here and same response from glxinfo. Clearly steam is failing to detect this information correctly

[Kano]

You both test wrong. You only verify the 64 bit extensions, but steam checks the 32 bit part of the driver. Maybe that is incorrectly installed, possible when somebody executed the amd-installer without buildpkg option.

I fixed this by going to the AMD/ATI Linux drivers web page and downloading the 12.10 driver. Set it to executable and ran it. Had to uninstall the fglrx driver that Ubuntu wants to stick on there first. when I ran TF2 for the first time after it wanted to stick back on the old drivers. just cancel out of this. worked great for me. hope this works for you

Same issue here, 64bit Ubuntu 12.04
Radeon HD 6970
Managed to fix it by installing the latest AMD driver (12.10)

Drivers fixed mine too :D But now my audio is gone on my computer :D.....

[HadBabits]

Nevermind it was just muted, fixed with alsa mixer

What to do if I have radeon 4000 series and the latest driver version is 12.6 legacy :<

nvidia is the biggest s**t ever! I have an Ati(hd4850) and a nVidia(notebook with optimus one year old) computer running ubuntu and it is much easier to get the computer running correctly with Ati, because of the driver support by AMD. On my notebook I have to use open drivers, because there never was any driver support for linux by nVidia, without the open drivers I had very slow graphics and a 800x600 resolution. my old ATi is not more supported by AMD but my just one year old nVidia card never was supported by nVidia.
Don't tell that nVidia would be better than ATi, that's lie!!
