Matrix licensed the G200 core to a bunch of BMC vendors, who in turn tied it to their own PLL setup and gave it (frequently) nowhere near enough RAM. The 2d acceleration should still have worked, but they left out the 3d unit. (source: I turned the G200 X11 driver into a basic KMS driver for Linux so we could drive the cards properly on EFI systems, and in the process discovered that at least one varient had a PLL calculation loop in the X11 driver that was guaranteed never to terminate, so it's quite possible that literally nobody ever tried to run graphics on some of these machines)
