I'm having some serious issues after updating to Ubuntu 14.10. Back in 14.04, I got constant error messages, and after updating, they seemed to go away for the most part, but then the came roaring back... I reinstalled Ubuntu 14.10, and not much has improved. now get the following message whenever I open Steam.

"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."

I've gone to the Additional Drivers application, found on the Applications lens, and changed to all the available drivers, and none of them work. To be quite frank, the change from Windows 7 to Ubuntu has been nothing but bumps. But does that mean I haven't enjoyed it? I loved it! I love finding and fixing these problems, but I'm sad to admite, I do need help with this. So thank you in advance!

Got the same problem.

Found the solution over there: OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems. (steam) AMD DRIVER

Contrary to the solution thread's topic, it's not an AMD issue, but seems to involve all systems running the open-source Gallium3D drivers on Ubuntu 14.10.
