I don't know what Steam is.... I had to revert to nouveau recently
because the nvidia driver (340-96) is unable to give a correct
configuration if I plug a beamer on the VGA plug of my laptop.

It cannot handle different resolutions for the laptop screen (1440x900)
while the beamer has a 1024x768 resolution.

This was not the case before: I just finished to update this laptop from
f14 to f24. Under f14, I installed the nvidia driver and it perfectly
worked.

With the nouveau driver, plugging a beamer works (almost) immediately
using the xfce4 display manager (except if I want mirror screens! I have
to configure the display by hand, using xrandr).
