Same problem with certified [PowerEdge
R320](http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201207-11432/) and
Ubuntu 14.04.

Personally, I am not necessarily interested in getting 3D acceleration
supported for such an old card (and for a server!). *However*, I'd like
basic graphic functionality to work decently; right now I got that by
installing xubuntu-desktop, but it'd be generally cool if compiz/gnome
would disable cool effects automatically, based on available hardware.

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
