For reference, a couple of users have been experiencing the same issue on HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8, which use Matrox MGA G200EH, the original culprit that caused the module mgag200 to be excluded from the kernel years ago.

In the linked topic, I put together a step-by-step walkthrough through installing the mgag200 module for Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distros like Mint. Some users might find it helpful.

Unfortunately, only one novice user tried this on HP Gen8 and apparently it did not work. I am not sure whether the mgag200 module just does not work with G200EH yet or whether there was some mistake made in the approach either by me or the user. It would be very helpful for someone to test this with this specific chip and report in more detail.
