Fedora 19 GLX Error.[SOLVED]

[TechG4m3r]

I have installed Fedora 19 and the nvidia akmod driver from the RPMFusion Rawhide repo, and I get this GLX error everytime I start Steam saying that I have direct rendering disabled. I'm guessing that I'm missing a 32bit dependency of some sort because if I install the binary nvidia driver Steam runs absolutely fine. All other OpenGL apps work fine on this akmod driver so I'm sure I have direct rendering enabled, would appreciate any help on how to fix this error.

akmod = automatic building tool for the proprietary driver. So, if you are missing anyhing would be the nvidia-libraries.i686 package, if you wanted to use the proprietary driver.

If you are intending to use the Mesa driver with nouveau (aka the Open/Free drivers), you have to install the mesa and dri 32-bit libraries if you run 64-bits.

edit if running the Open/Free drivers, you have to ensure to install the libxtc-dxtn texture compression library in order to get S3TC support (and hence many games) to work.

sudo yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 libtxc_dxtn libtxc_dxtn.i686

then

sudo reboot

Commands for thetargos' suggestion if you need them :)

I tried that, I get this output

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

I'm sure I don't have broken packages, but it doesn't let me install these libraries.

[TechG4m3r]

Okay, I figured it out. All I needed to do while installing those libraries was to temporarily enable RPMFusion-Nonfree-Rawhide repo. Thanks for the help and for giving me the required libraries to install, Steam works great now! :D

Wish we could upvote/have a Wiki - Ive spent an hour looking for a solution to basically same issue on F19. As above solution is to:

sudo yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-325.15-1.fc19.i686

Where 325.15.1 should be replaced with driver version you are already using. If you arent sure but youre using kmod/akmod from RPMfusion just do this:

rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs

This will print list of installed nvidia-libs already (which should be the 64bit version of above library). Yes you need to have RPMfusion non-free installed for your Fedora version.

Hippie Killer, from the looks of your yum output you have mixed F19 and rawhide packages installed, which is why you needed to enable the rawhide repo.
