You have an Intel should work ! 

After other announcement, I find out that is not necessary and works
with drives of F17, no need Mesa updates, neither libwayland updates .
I done a yum distribution-synchronization to revert all updates.

And we have a new repo : 

http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=games&package=steam

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ 
wget
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/Fedora_17/games.repo
yum install steam

and lunch it with: steam steam://store,  to workaround limited login.
