Ubuntu 18.04 LTS GUI is unusably slow with Matrox G200eR2 (Dell r720xd server).
The gui during install was working smoothly. Also if I boot into safe graphics mode ( https://askubuntu.com/a/901327/299013 ) the GUI just works.
However booting normally the login screen is unusably slow. I get maybe 1 frame every 5 seconds. Then as soon as I log in I get a corrupt picture. Every line in the picture is successively shifted to the right. I can't decipher what is shown.
If I try to run sudo X -configure I get

Next I tried to install sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-mga ( https://askubuntu.com/a/875698/299013 ) but that doesn't exist.
Next I tried to remove all apt remove xserver-xorg-video-\* packages and only apt install xserver-xorg-video-vesa. (https://www.systutorials.com/241655/ubuntus-gui-response-is-very-slow/) But that didn't seem to make any difference.
What can I do to fix the graphics output?
