OK.  It *should* work - my own test machine is an AMD-V box running 
3.0.4-testing

The SDL needs there to be an accessible X server (e.g. via SSH forwarding, or 
you're running from a terminal on the local X server).  Do you have this?

Have you tried connecting a VNC viewer manually to port 5900 + vncdisplay?

Are you running 64-bit Xen on the host?

Cheers,
Mark
