Bug Description

Ubuntu currently isn't building the vmwgfx_dri.so driver on aarch64 which makes graphics acceleration not work on VMware hypervisors running aarch64. Any Mesa3D version 22.1.4 or higher has full 3D support for the svga device, unfortunately only in:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/6e311dd7229b2afb478e65afe2f17d7fb422d01e
we've added it to the default/auto compile options, before then it had to be manually enabled.

It would be great if mesa packages for 22.10 could build the vmwgfx_dri.so by enabling the svga device in mesa packages. That would make accelerated GL work on aarch64 with VMware products.
