So far I've followed Eric's guide on getting Steam up. Steam launches fine, I've even used it to download Dota2.
After downloading Dota2, I tried to run it but there was a problem.
this applications requires either the GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc,
or GL_EXT_texture_compression_dxt1 + GL_ANGLE_texture_compression_dxt3 +
GL_ANGLE_texture_compression_dxt5 OpenGL extensions.Please install S3TC texture support.
my grafic card is ATI RADEON HD 4200 series on windows i can play normal
my laptop has dual boot .
I already installed libtxc_dxtn , but steam shows me the same error

it is a bug
maybe in steam/dota maybe in OSS drivers
anyway you need to force s3tc by typing in the console
export force_s3tc_enable=true
steam
or just
force_s3tc_enable=true steam
or you can install the official driver from AMD

you are probably trying on the open source drivers (given you had to enable s3tc)
In order to play Source-based games on linux, you need an nvidia card. this is due to some old patent filed by S3, but is now held by nVidia. Even if you did get it to work with a different brand graphics card, it might not be legal to do so (especially in the USA )
This guide is for playing through wine... linking here as even tho it is native, it will still need some of these resources present, and maybe the fix for wine will also help you with your current setup:
Ok , im trying with my other laptop toshiba slackware 14.1 64, intel hd grafics and
steam launchs but windows main menu are red so bug and i can read some words ....
after this i write before launch steam on a terminal

with this command i can see all normal and launchs like windows 8 so ok , but the same error when i try play and after load screen (with dota 2 logo ) when game is starting CRASHED and close dota 2 window
1 i have libtxc_dxtn drivers installed and dota 2 runs just to main menu its all ok
