Description:
The intel vulkan driver does not have VK_KHR_xlib_surface enabled.
To enable it, you should compile with VK_USE_PLATFORM_XLIB_KHR enabled.
At the moment, to do vulkan development without wayland or xcb, I have to compile the driver myself. This is kind of suboptimal.
Please consider providing a version with x11 support enabled.
This task depends upon

It's an upstream choise to not enable VK_USE_PLATFORM_XLIB_KHR, they choose xcb platform.

Please fill an upstream bug report.

Thanks for the reply!

So who is the upstream in charge of compiling the driver?
On the mesa homepage (http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net/precompiled.html), they clearly state that they don't do binary releases.

There is no configure option to enable x11 platform, only xcb platform is enabled, so they clearly don't want it to be enabled.

It's an upstream choice, you must fill an upstream bug report.
