steam install on opensuse 11.0

[regital]

i installed steam on my OpenSuSE 11.0 computer, but when i installed it in konsole with 'wine SteamInstall.exe' it vomits a whole lot of "fixme's" and in the end it gives errors like

err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered

If you need the rest of what the konsole vomited on me, ill paste it, but its really long so i dont want to put it up here until someone needs it.

Your system missing usable OpenGL libraries (libGL). You need that for any games. Steam also checks some capabilities on the start up and apparently fails if that doesn't work.

Make sure you install your video card drivers. Almost no distro; just like Windows, does not install the vendor(s) (ATI, NVIDIA etc..) drivers for you. You must install them manually.

If you have an ATI video card then follow my tutorial on the opensuse wiki

http://en.opensuse.org/ATI


If you have an nVidia video card then follow the nVidia tutorial

http://en.opensuse.org/Nvidia

Another easy way is to just use the 1-click install. You can use 1-click-install that will install the latest ATI or nVidia drivers:

ATI
http://opensuse-community.org/ati.ymp


nVidia
http://opensuse-community.org/nvidia.ymp

After your done installing the drivers make sure you either reboot or ctrl + alt + backspace to reload the X server.

Additionally, make sure you test to make sure they are working by opening the terminal and doing the following tests:

Code: Select all

$ glxinfo

you should see a blurb about your driver. If you see Mesa at all after running glxinfo then you need to go back and try again.

Code: Select all

OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON X850 PRO Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6286 (8.33.6)

Go to http://en.opensuse.org/ATI#Testing to test your driver further.
