All I deliberately changed from the default xenU config was enabling CONFIG_XEN_PHYSDEV_ACCESS & CONFIG_PCI. This automatically set a bunch of other options to 'y', including _INPUT, _VT, _VT_CONSOLE, _VGA_CONSOLE & _DUMMY_CONSOLE (as recommended).

Your experience seems similar to Gerd Knorr's, both indicating X is at least partly to blame. I plan to wait until the X fixes are available before testing Xen against them, so we might at least hope that X is behaving before worrying about debugging Xen. In the mean time of course if anybody makes any progress it would be great to hear about it ...
