Steam on Debian 64-bit

After a long struggle, I got steam running on my debian 64-bit machine. However, whenever I try to run a game (TF2 to be exact) nothing happens. It just doesn't do anything..... Any ideas?
 


Update: I actually got Team Fortress 2 to run, however, the screen goes crazy and it is basically impossible to play. I had the same problem when trying to run Dota 2. Is this a graphics card problem or is it missing something that I'm unaware of? Any ideas?
 
Yes my system is up to date. I tried that on the wiki and the last step failed so I tried a different way that I found on the steam forums.
aptitude install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386


That command failed and said that apt couldn't find it. I have the sid repositories in the sources file as well.
 
What version of the driver are you using?

Can you post the output from running Steam in a terminal?
Code:
steam --verbose
Try to open the game when looking at the output in the terminal.

That is what happens when I execute that command and start up the game. It definitely has to do with openGL.

Yeah I did and when I try to install the libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 it says that apt cannot find it.
 
Alright that worked actually! Now the only problem is that the game is very dark, I haven't tried adjusting the shading or light settings yet, but other than that the game works. Thanks for your help!

If ryan's post helped, then mark it as the "Best Answer". Enjoy Steam on Debian!
