Upstream has support for Intel Xe graphics in all of kernel, libdrm and mesa, yet all of these packages are built with Intel support disabled on aarch64.
Intel Xe drivers, unlike i915 are architecture independent. On x86_64, they conflict with i915 drivers, so an elaborate scheme is used to allow both drivers to coexist. On aarch64, Intel Xe has no legacy counterpart, so no conflict either.
All the more reason to enable Intel Xe on aarch64, just like on x86_64. Intel Xe support may not be perfect on aarch64, but this is just as true on x86_64.

When it first landed upstream it was still x86 only and they said they were working on it. I did see there were patches upstream to fix the issues. I'll take a look at what's required to build it multi arch.

Hi,
It has been reported that Intel Xe kernel drivers build and run fine on aarch64 in 2D mode. 3D support comes after enabling Intel in libdrm and mesa, but currently is not stable. Supposedly, this will be greatly improved in kernel 6.11 which will have many Xe updates. Having 2D now would already be a plus.

I had read it's all a WIP but enabling it now doesn't affect other users and usercases so it doesn't hurt. It makes it easier for those that wish to try it but of course there's no guarantee as to how well it will work :)

Hi,
Fedora kernel 6.10 for aarch64 now includes the Intel xe driver. Great!
Unfortunately, 2D only, as libdrm and mesa are still built without Intel support. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2292904 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2292901
Hope this gets resolved soon.

Intel Xe drivers were included in the aarch64 kernel since kernel 6.10. Recently, Intel support was included in libdrm-2.4.123-1.fc40.aarch64 or earlier. Now the wait is for including Intel in building mesa-lib-drivers for aarch64.

Yup things are moving forward like I said they would....
Now the wait is for including Intel in building mesa-lib-drivers for aarch64.
I don't have a lot of spare time, I did start looking at it, I haven't had time to finish it.
