Hey,

I don't think it is related to steam, as starting mincraft gives me the 
same error:
org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Could not init GLX

It was a clean home (for the new user "test") but I had to restart steam 
since it didn't even show a GUI when launching for the first time.

Could this be solved by installing the catalyst driver? I would then try 
this although it might impose a lot of work on me as I am running on 
xorg 1.15...


Best regards,

Heiko
