I did an online chat with Dell to see if they new anything about this
and they could not help. Here was there response:

"Ok. Well, I had them review the article and they see many vendors
having the same issue. We don't have any updates / patches for the
Matrox graphics card for this kind of issue. Were feeling that this is a
desktop OS that is likely a little more graphics intensive than what the
server mobo onboard video can do."

They had the linux group review this bug. BTW, window 7 and windows 8.1
work fine with this video card and mobo is a short for motherboard.

We have put in an inexpensive nvida card in our servers if we need to
use the gui to get around this issue.

Title:
  matrox g200eR2 is unclaimed in 14.04

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On a certified Dell PowerEdge T620 server
  (http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201207-11426/)

  The matrox video card is not recognised:
  lspci | grep VGA
  0a:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd. G200eR2

  lshw -C display
    *-display UNCLAIMED     
         description: VGA compatible controller
         product: G200eR2
         vendor: Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd.
         physical id: 0
         bus info: pci@0000:0a:00.0
         version: 00
         width: 32 bits
         clock: 33MHz
         capabilities: pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list
         configuration: latency=64 maxlatency=32 mingnt=16
         resources: memory:d8000000-d8ffffff memory:deffc000-deffffff memory:de000000-de7fffff

  Thus xserver is not hardver accelerated.

  Also /dev/dri and /dev/dri/card0 is missing.

  kernel module mga is not loaded, although if i manually load by modprobe it works fine
  modprobe mga
  lsmod | grep mga
  mga                    40811  0 
  drm                   302817  1 mga
