Hey guys, I have Ubuntu 12.10 with an ATI Radeon HD 5770.
I've installed Steam so I could play Team Fortress 2. However, After installing Steam, and trying to launch Team Fortress 2, I get this message: Attachment 240510
Any help will be thanked.

Make sure to install the latest restricted driver: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve#AMD.2BAC8-ATI_Graphics
AI, I don't think Steam has the best advice. It suggests enabling the Pre-Release Repo in Ubuntu. That could be trouble.
If the default restricted driver doesn't work, he could give it try.
When I use the restricted drivers, I get no unity when I log back in.
The only other option is xorg-edgers if you are up to it.
Would I need to use Synaptic Package Manager to do that?
Here, be aware you could get the same error as before or worse. This is bleeding edge software:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current AND/OR sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current-updates
sudo apt-get install nvidia-313
There. :)
Edit: I'm an idiot. Thats for Nvidia, not ATI. Unfortunately I have no experience installing an ATI driver. BUT Xorg-Edgers will help. I swear, it has the ATI driver in it.
Yeah just ignore me. I'm going to curl in a corner now.
According to this guy on steam, it requires it a bit of tweaking to get Team Fortress 2 to work with an ATI HD card: http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410.../?l=english#p1
and http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410...6717055843/#p2 with the same card as you.
To sum it up; Seems to be a hit or miss regarding Team Fortress 2 if you're using ATI card.
EDIT: ManamiVixen I also got Nvidia card ;)
