Thanks a lot for the informations on how you succeed with the NVidia 
x86_64-100.14.19 compilation and installation and Xen 3.1.
I followed your step-by-step instructions to the letter but for the 
kernel: the 2.6.22-xen image powered by ubuntu does work on my 
workstation and I didn't have to compile it by myself.
Compilation, patch, and nvidia.ko module loading is working perfect. 
That being said, starting gdm always results in a system hang and a 
black screen. Actually, I had the exact same problem with the restricted 
nvidia driver of the linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 Ubuntu/Gutsy package.
I didn't find anything in any log. I also tried to strace gdm onto a 
file, without any interesting clue on what happens.
It's a pity not being able to run the NVidia driver with Xen. For now, I 
have to choose between dual-screen and Xen which is very frustating!
Tried on a DELL Précision 490, with 2 x Intel Xeon 3GHz CPU, NVidia 
Quadro Dual Screen, kernel 2.6.22-14-xen x86_64 from ubuntu/gutsy.
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in anticipation!
