Hello,
I have installed Steam, and after starting Steam this message appears: OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.
For more information visit https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9938-EYZB-7457.
What means this? Do I have to install any other GL driver? And which one is it?
Thank you for an answer.

Hi
Following the Steam support page do:
1. Install mesa-utils for i386:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils:i386
After that you run a diagnostic test:
glxinfo
Check on the top of the test results-> direct rendering: Yes (should be)
Check are you a part of 'video' group:
groups
Reinstall all video drivers - open Synaptic, refresh/reload it and find all packages starting by 'xserver-xorg-video-*'
Mark all the video installed packages and reinstall theme, then reboot your machine and check Steam again.
It what I can do.
If you still have a problem, please contact the Steam support.
Thank you very much, I will try it and tell you later, if there was any success.
