Was package xserver-xorg-video-mga installed before adding those repos? Your
onboard GPU is a special beast, an update of a very very old design, adapted to
Dell servers. Whether there is any special firmware required I have doubts about.
There's also a special utility matroxset that could be of some use. All my Matrox
GPUs are older varieties for which FOSS driver support seems to have expired, or
be in the process of being abandoned for use in conjunction with KMS.
