1. you might be able to check in /etc/modprobe.d for blacklists
2. Also in modprobe.d, you might find fglrx still be loaded. This stuff can vary depending on which distro you used and how you installed the catalyst drivers.
3. The link below might help you figure some stuff out, also might help with figuring out modules. I'm not sure if you use Arch but it still might be relevant:

ArchWiki:Archive - ArchWiki

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMD_Catalyst#Loading_the_module_at_boot

4. There might be some other library missing. It's easy to miss.
5. I'm pretty sure you have to have a xorg.conf with catalyst...
6. IOMMU should have no impact on performance. The purpose of it is to allow PCI passthrough in virtual machines. Crossfire itself actually has it's own form of IOMMU, which I'm guessing conflicts with the CPU-based one. Doesn't seem to affect Windows though.

Okay so to remove possible errors, I ended up wiping everything and installing Ubuntu 15.04, Linux 3.18 RC1, the Oibaf drivers, and trying to install steam.

Code:

Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0_client)
libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Nope.

Code:

glxinfo | grep renderer 
    GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, 
    GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, 
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD HAWAII

Code:

glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes

So basically I give up, and I'll try another time.

Steam is saying you do not have Direct Rendering? If yes, try remove (or rename, you choose) the follow archives:

~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1

I am assuming you are using Ubuntu 14.10.

After I installed kernel 3.17 and Oibaf PPA Steam started showing a message saying I do not have Direct Rendering. Removing the above archives resolved my problem.

I just realized that this, should actually be:

Code:

rm ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1

It makes steam re-download itself, but the issue still remains.

I keep this PPA updated whenever there is relevant changes (commits that matter for the above packages) , which means roughly at least twice a week.

Kubuntu 14.10 with Plasma 5 Tech Preview works fine (only tested GLX).

I just want to point out this part:

I checked it out.

Code:

GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2

GLIBCXX_3.4.17
GLIBCXX_3.4.18
GLIBCXX_3.4.19
GLIBCXX_3.4.20
GLIBCXX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH

So it looks like my issue is there, but my lack of experience keeps me from knowing what to do beyond this. I'll probably wait it out.

This is what we get for Steam runtime targetting Ubuntu 12.04. It's just simply put old and you run into compatibility issues. Iirc the problem is Steam runtime has libstdc++ .18 and it needs .20 for that symbol. If any games were not built against the full version-file-name, major breakage ahead in Steam

Thank you! I'll be trying this as soon as I get back. Unfortunately I tried to install 32-bit versions of everything that the steam runtime required and running steam with the runtime=0 thing... and I accidentally broke my install because it removed some very important network packages... I also don't want to try to go through undoing all the weird things that I did while trying to get it working, so I'll probably do a fresh install again... (not a big deal considering I only had a few extra ppas and packages installed)

libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

So once again, at my wit's end. To get to this point, I actually had to do this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install steam steam-launcher

Code:

rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1

If you don't remove these, steam won't create the run.sh needed for the one after this one.

Code:

STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam

This is the only way I can get steam to update itself.

Code:

LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1" ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh steam

And that's where I am now.

**profoundWHALE** · 04 November 2014, 08:42 PM

Okay so I updated everything and ran some of those rm commands again, and then tried starting it. Success.
