Found a fix for the ugly AMD beta drivers watermark, the script is this link.
For Slackware64 just change the line
with
I usually have a copy of the file /etc/ati/signature from a release version of the driver. When I install a beta version I just copy it back to that place and the watermark is gone. Now ask yourself why AMD is thinking that it is a good idea to annoy the people that volunteer to test their software with an on-screen watermark.

This is the output of my steam when I try to run TF2 Beta.
It breaks at the loading screen.
Please use code-tags, not quote tags.
Anyways, which video-driver are you using?
Also, I did not have to extent the library-path like that, it worked out of the box, so try with removing the TF2 path from the export.

First sorry for the quote tags.
Second, I manage to play TF2.
It didn't load with may usb mouse connected.
Basically just another annoyance (albeit a potentially expensive one). When Steam "updated" their client/server about a year ago their changes made the system far more sensitive to network speed and many with less than ideal connection quality or significant high speed connections were left out in the cold because they could no longer connect to Steam's servers. This means they could no longer play games they had already purchased, and new ones purchased retail could not be installed. Steam however takes no responsibility in this issue whatsoever, despite the fact that these folks had no problems prior to the Valve "update".
I did not have to add that separate LD_LIBRARY_PATH entry to get TF2 to run. I just have:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/seamonkey:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
Works fine for me. I am, however, using an NVIDIA card with the latest binary driver. Maybe something ATi specific?
I checked the Steam Linux beta forums and some people who have encountered a crash there have fixed it by launching the game with the "-nojoy" (without the quotes) parameter. Right click on the the game in your Library, choose "Properties," then click on the "Set Launch Options..." button. Type -nojoy in there.
In another thread, someone suggested updating to the Catalyst 12.11 beta 11 drivers. The start-up problems looked very similar to yours. Might be worth a shot.
For those with segmenation faults, I get them unless I
put the correct TF2 export path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
run Steam via "SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa steam steam://store"
Also I only have pulseaudio-compat32 and not the full pulseaudio-compat32 x86_64 package installed. No doubt some of this would be easier if just ran pure 32-bit!
Also, for Nvidia GPUs, I highly recommend the proprietary 310.xx series. This is the version Nvidia s tweaking for the Source engine.

Thanks for the hints, but they don't work in my setup.
I cannot even get to the login screen, so the TF2 path is still non-existent on my system
About pulseaudio: if you install only the compat32 package then you won't have the daemon running at startup and steam will complain about not having access to the Mic control, but it doesn't seem like a critical error which causes the SEGFAULT.
I've put here a log created with
Code:
LD_DEBUG=libs steam
There are some errors (starting at line 1988) regarding GTK and some OpenGL4 calls (I'm using mesa, so they will fail miserably...) but apart these errors I can't see nothing of significance.
I hope that the SEGFAULT isn't caused by the lack of an OpenGL4 implementation on my system, because that would be a kinda ridiculous requirement...
