Description Zack Rusin 2022-07-19 02:36:39 UTC
Description of problem: Unlike on x86 the mesa-dri-drivers on aarch64 does not include the SVGA drivers, which results in:
MESA-LOADER: failed to open vmwgfx
and makes the system fallback to swrast_dri.so

Mesa3D supports the svga driver on aarch64 starting from Mesa3D 22.1.1 release. Fedora rawhide is currently on 22.1.3 so it should be trivial to enable it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 22.1.3 (but svga is support from 22.1.1)


How reproducible: Start Fedora rawhide on VMware Fusion on aarch64.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Fedora on VMware Fusion on aarch64 (e.g. Apple's M1)
2. Check "LIBGL_DEUBUG=verbose glxinfo" which will list llvmpipe and mention loading swrast_dri.so
3. Check /usr/lib64/dri for the svga driver, which won't be present and check "journalctl -b" for all the messages talking about not being able to find a mesa dri driver for device vmwgfx.

Actual results: svga dri driver missing


Expected results: svga dri driver present


Additional info: 3D on aarch64 has been supported on 5.17stable, 5.18 stable and any 5.19 (starting from rc1).
