Thank you captain obvious because i didnt think of using Google
Non-propiertary for Nvidia means Nouveau?
Afaik Nouveau is installed automatically by Debian ?
If that is the case, then i'm not getting signal on my monitor on Nouveau
And second thing is open source Nvidia drivers suck

Just tested again with Noveau on Debian Jessie 8.6 this time and Steam works fine
So i guess Debian doesn't like propiertary Nvidia drivers?

After switching to propiertary driver Steam still works fine.
So for anyone who have problem running Steam, install and configure it on Nouveau first, then switch to Propiertary.

I found a final solution, it's best to add multiarch support before installing Nvidia drivers
& then
And if driver is already installed
Code: Select all
apt install nvidia-driver-libs-i386

Wiki tells to install this for Nvidia
aptitude install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
I tried it in past, but the installer was trying to remove my Nvidia drivers.
