Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On a certified Dell PowerEdge T620 server

The matrox video card is not recognised:

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
