(I'll talk to myself)

It seems the NVidia drivers have an easier time of it, or at least the 
patch isn't as old as the fglrx patch.
http://en.opensuse.org/Use_Nvidia_driver_with_Xen
Note the note... an update broke things so you have to stay back at 
NVidia's 1.0-9631 version.  I can only imagine changes in the way NVidia 
does things have made it quite difficult to bring this patch forward to 
a more current version.
My thoughts...  Both the NVidia patch and the ATI patch are quite 
small!  Seems someone could maintain them in those companies.  (they 
would win my business)
Thanks in advance for any additional direction,
