Hey guys, sorry to intrude, but I've been out of the Windows gaming scene for longer than I can remember. I own copies of Half-life and a few other games, but am I to understand that they can be played (for free?) through steam? I see that you can purchase a few games through steam as well ( I remember hearing about it some time ago... most of the work done on it was done by the bittorrent guy right?).

Yes you can. If you want to help us test it out, all you'll need is your Half Life CD Key - Steam should download and patch up the rest of everything.
That is, if I can get steam to work - still no text on the buttons makes it mighty difficult to know what I'm doing.
Does this also happen in Desktop mode? Steam has some problems with the Window Styles(I sent a mail a few hours ago).
Well, the buttons are " < Back", " Next > " and "Cancel". But that won't help much if you can't read the text.
Have you tried to set "ClientSideWithRender" and "ClientSideWithCore" in the x11drv Section to false? I have them enabled and if I disable them I can't see any text too(just noticed this).
