Reading documentation on the mga_drv.so and checking the source files of xserver-xorg-video-mga_1.6.3-1build1_amd64.deb I see that matrox driver has a built in support for EXA in config.h /* Build support for Exa */ #define USE_EXA 1
/* Build support for XAA */ /* #undef USE_XAA */ /* Version number of package */ #define VERSION "1.6.3" However it seems that it is not activated or checked at runtime, any clues how this could be activated? It might bring back the lost functionality of XAA acceleration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316035 Title: matrox g200eR2 is unclaimed in 14.04 Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: New 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.
