I've reproduced the problem, but I'm clueless as to what's causing it. Symptomatically, what's happening is that, when the VGL faker attempts to load a symbol from libGL using dlsym(), dlsym() returns the interposed symbol from the VGL faker instead. No idea why, but it seems that Steam is somehow interfering with VGL's function dispatching mechanism. When I've seen such problems in the past with other applications, I was able to work around them by setting VGL_GLLIB=/usr/lib64/libGL.so.1 or VGL_GLLIB=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1, which forces VirtualGL to load the "real" OpenGL functions directly from the underlying OpenGL library instead of relying on the dynamic loader to pick those symbols from the next library in the search order. That doesn't work with Steam, however.
I've spent nearly two full days' work looking at this, but I'm afraid that there isn't much else I can do without help from the community. With a closed-source application like Steam, it could easily take me 30 or 40 more hours of hacking to determine why it isn't working with VirtualGL, and even if I can determine exactly what's causing the issue, sometimes issues like these still aren't solvable. If someone else is willing to take the lead on this, then I'd be more than happy to liaise with them, but for me personally, I can't spare those hours from the General Fund to donate to this cause, so I'd need the work to be sponsored financially if I'm going to solve it without community help. I want to support the gaming market as much as I can, but unfortunately, the reality is that my business model makes it difficult to do so. I get paid generally by corporations or other organizations who are using VirtualGL internally or selling it as part of their product, and these customers are primarily focused on CAD and visualization applications.
