Portal Beta was playable with Intel HD 4000 (kernel 3.9, mesa 9.1.1) but i only installed it because there is still no L4D2. Now i see the next game with source engine, but it is still not L4D2... Btw. Portal 2 is not on that list as well. Before somebody buys it better check:

Well, just hope that valve will make gaming on linux equal as gaming on windows in terms of quality, because as for now even games for linux are worse compared to windows, with much more bugs and lower graphics, i.e. super meat boy or torchlight.

Has anyone tried this with the current AMD blob (ideally on a 77xx card) yet? Is it playable?
Just wondering whether to get it now, or wait a couple of months for AMD to patch over all the bugs that this probably exposes...
Either way it's good to see it, these two are probably my favourite Valve games and the main reason I was excited by Steam coming.

And I was running 3 screens, and it magically knew to only fulscreen to the main notebook one, which I find super impressive, since when I have many screens connected, fulscreen apps usually do somethinf very stupid.
I am running 13.3beta3 drivers.

C) To avoid people creating a new accounts for buying additional copies of a game during a huge sale, and then trading the licenses later when prices are back to normal.
Mostly A though.
And for name change, I think it could create problems of this sort:
Someone "hacks" your account, changes the email address and all other contact info. Then they change the account name and create a new account with your old name, making it difficult for support to find your real account and restore ownership to you.

I have 2 accounts too but I was lucky enough that I only have a few older games on the the other account that I don't play anymore anyhow.

I'll try out fglrx and enable the console so I can see the precise FPS sometime soon.
