https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270509 is getting reports that the hardware associated with x11-drivers/xf86-video-mga is common across various servers and its removal has messed up having support for the video on such servers.

(I've no direct experience of my own for servers: I'm reporting hear-say.)
