Same problem here on a certified PowerEdge r820 with Ubuntu server 14.04.2, no GUI installed, only CLI.
The framerate is very slow, using commands like 'ls' or 'less' is almost painful. Adding vesa or mga drivers didn't change a thing. I cannot put a personalized xorg.conf since xorg-server is not even installed. I found two separate workarounds (not fixes) to this: 1. install openssh server and log into the server from another machine. Everything works fine, fast and responsive. 2. modify /etc/default/grub to reduce the resolution of CLI by editing the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" into GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash vga=1024x768x24". Then run sudo update-grub and reboot. CLI is now low resolution but fast and responsive. I didn't try with higher resolution yet. I think I'll settle for using SSH anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316035 Title: matrox g200eR2 is unclaimed in 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1316035/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
