[Bug 1316035] Re: matrox g200eR2 is unclaimed in 14.04

 

Same problem on IBM System x3400 M2, Ubuntu 14.04.3.  Zoltán Maróti
solution indeed improved the graphical interface. The problem here is
that the text terminals (ctrl-alt-Fx) or booting in text mode without
loading lightdm renders an unreadable screen with green squares or blue
lines . I wonder if it is a consequence of the same bug or not. If
anyone observed the same problem please let us know.

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
