How to get steam to work on my google chrome book?

Q. Will steam work on my google chrome book? And if so how do I get it to work?

A. You might have to dual boot your Chromebook with Ubuntu then download steam for Linux, not 100% sure if it'll work.

How do you get a game to work on Steam?
Q. I am using Linux Ubuntu, and when I open the game Team Fortress 2, it opens, I can hear the sounds and everything, but I can't see the game. All I can see is a black screen.

A. First, get a distro that is more stable than Ubuntu. I play TF2 and most other steam games on Slackware, and they all work great.

Having said that, though, most of the time your problem is either the wine version you are using, or the video drivers. Wine is at 1.5.20, and I'm finding it to be a very stable release. Check your video drivers, see if there is something more current. The current AMD drivers are for the most part stable, not sure about the current nVidia drivers.

If you know how, create a new wine prefix, and try playing TF2 in that.
