Slackware-Current - Steam - glxChooseVisual Failed


Morning Folks

HP Omen Laptop GTX1050 2GB

New install of Slackware-Current
Multilib Installed
Nvidia Drivers from Slackbuilds Installed

Being Optimus, Ive changed it so that X is running directly from the 1050, xorg as per below

Code:
Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "intel"
    MatchDriver "i915"
    Driver "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
    Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
Running steam I get the error glxChooseVisual Failed, Error from the console as per below

Code:
Slackware 32-bit: Check the 'deps/<slackwareversion>' directory where you downloaded this package and install/upgrade the packages you find there.
Slackware 64-bit multilib: Install/upgrade the packages in the 'deps/<slackwareversion>/multilib' subdirectory instead.

Ive looked at a few other posts and they all said install myltilib, this has been done with the Quick n Dirty Instructions. Any ideas or where to look?
