Fedora 17 - Radeon (GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc not supported)

[nicaz0id.]

Steam runs fine on Fedora using the following steps:

$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
$ sudo wget http://spot.fedorapeople.org/steam/steam.repo
$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum install steam

One problem is still remaining, though. It may be related to the ati drivers, if I try to start TF2 I get:

Required OpenGL extension "GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc" is not supported. Please install S3TC texture support.

Have you tried:

sudo yum install libtxc_dxtn.i686

[ganymed5262]

worked for me

Note that you will need to set up RPMFusion before that.

great! at least TF2 starts now. I'll test further. Maybe we should collect installation instructions for non ubuntu distributions somewhere...

for Fedora 17 the steps now would be

$ su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.or/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
$ sudo wget http://spot.fedorapeople.org/steam/steam.repo
$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum install libtxc_dxtn.i686 steam

EDIT: added RPMFusion installation from http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

For users in Ubuntu 12.04 you can do it doing:

$ sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn0

Hello, I'm a user of Fedora 17. Recently installed trims for Ubuntu, simply open it to the directory /usr , now it works perfectly (except for the BigPicture mode), including TF2Beta, then why not provide a package for other distributions. I think rpm-based worthy of attention. In the rest, of course, very glad that Valve to look at OS Linux.

I am using Fedora 17 too, but I have other error:

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

gpu: radeon hd 6870
driver: amd catalyst 12.10

Help please?
