I built a Zesty test kernel with CONFIG_DRM_MGAG200 set to m and a pick of commit f0493e653f9679114d1dfd54ab88b54ce95576e1. The test kernel can be downloaded from:

Can you give this kernel a test?

Thanks in advance!

I tested both the kernels on HPE gen8 and Gen10 platform and it seems to
loading fine and i can confirm that driver is in use with Matrox grpahics
controller for both Gen8 and Gen10 platform. Below is the syslog from the
server tested for this bug.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-zesty' to 'verification-done-zesty'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-zesty' to 'verification-failed-zesty'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
