Title:
  adding GUI to Ubuntu Server 20.04 results in no log in screen

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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/custom.conf to force gdm to use Xorg instead of Wayland 
fixed the issue

  Ubuntu 19.10 has the same problem
  Same issue found installing the Desktop Version

  Had to force the /etc/dgm3/custom.conf to use xorg from Grub recovery
  mode

  
  Conclusion being - should we try to fix this?

  There may already be a fix in process
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/364
  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
