[Fedora 20][GTX 750ti] OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering

Hi
I have a clean install of Fedora 20 with drivers to the Nvidia 750 ti. Steam launches fine, but I get an error such as the title. It directs me to https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9938-EYZB-7457 , but I'm not able to resolve it from there. Starting Steam from the terminal gives this (I've tried searching fixes for the errors with no luck, as I'm not skilled with linux and don't know what to look for):

Thanks a lot for any help!

It seems to be a driver problem.
Do have information from glxinfo to post here?
