I've seem a few posts about this, but no solution has worked for me so starting a new thread in the hopes that this may be a separate problem and whatever help I can get may help someone else. I'm running a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 on Kubuntu 12.10 32 bit. I've previously had steam working, but a while ago it stopped. I've tried completely reinstalling with no luck.
Also, when will Big Picture finally work?
A couple of annoying bugs I have are generally related to the games themselves (ie DOTA2 NEVER seems to show prizes no matter what linux-based system I'm running), audio seems to stutter a bit after selecting a toon as the game hangs a little bit (possibly network latency related or likely kernel as seems to be only recent) and performance doesn't seem to be as good (however, I am using x-edgers FGLRX and a 5400RPM drive so there's a definate load time-related thing there compared to my nVidia/SSD desktop)
And Big Picture looks like a kiddy built it. It's got nothing on the slickness of XBMC's visuals.
However, all in all, Steam has shaped up to nearly as good as the Winblows client, and in far less time comparitvely.Hi

Its noticeable better on windows.
Phenom II X4, at stock 3.2 ghz, HD5750.
Left for dead 2 is the only game giving me issues.
Serious Sam 3 for example runs maybe even better on Linux. ( openSUSE 12.3 64 bit )
What kernel are you running, and your mesa version? (I'm not familiar with your version of openSUSE - "$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL" will give the latter) What graphics options are you using in L4D2?

And both games have at least one thing in common, the spawning of shit-loads of enemies.
SS3 works greats since the amd beta driver which supports openGl 4.
Before this the game was almost un playable, if I did not turned down the resolution allot.
Teamfortress 2 runs perfect too. ( so we can also rule out my internet connection 50MB down 2.5MB up )
The halflife benchmark, lost coast runs FPS close to windows, although its a tiny bit more fluent on windows, its more then good enough on Linux to have fun.
LFD2 has very annoying short freezes, or should I say lag, mostly noticeable when the zombies attack.
Further more I like to add, that the amd drivers have improved allot over the last year.
I am running latest catalyst beta drivers.
glxinfo | grep OpenGL does not seem to do anything.

I have reported it on the github, I do not seem to be the only one:
I am also installing the beta again, to see if there is any difference.
