Bug Description
apt install ubuntu-desktop on Servers with embedded Matrox G200 Graphics Controller issue
After install/reboot there is no gdm login displayed
Editing /etc/gdm3/
Ubuntu 19.10 has the same problem
Same issue found installing the Desktop Version
Had to force the /etc/dgm3/
Conclusion being - should we try to fix this?
There may already be a fix in process
https:/
Here are three proposals if the above does not pan out, one of these should work, Number 3 is preferred
1. Fix Wayland’s support for G200
2. Rip out the broken support for Matrox G200 in Wayland
3. Convince Canonical to blacklist the G200 from Wayland during install and force Xorg automatically
