Suse's 2.6.27 kernel under Xen-Unstable (and 3.3.X) seems to be self sufficient for X-server startup. It's my current environment . No nvidia drivers have been installed at all.

I believe the current driver works with Xen because somebody outside
of nvidia contributed a patch, I use the nvidia binary driver with Xen
3.2.1 and my custom dom0 kernel which is 2.6.27.10 patched with
openSUSE Xen patches rebased to apply to
vanilla, it works very well
but when pv_ops is merged into mainline the nvidia driver will
probably work when it is running on the bare metal but not under Xen
:(.
Having said that the patch for Xen support only touched the open
source parts of the driver, as soon as the current problems with hvm
on pv_ops are fixed I will be testing pv_ops and nvidia driver and I
will attempt to fix any problems, my C skills are improving so I might
be able to figure it out.
