Googling with "xen patch for nvidia-driver" also
provide some understanding of the issue, which i believe is already
resolved in 2.6.27 and higher xenified aka Suse kernels for GeForce
8000,9000 Series drivers.

Staff like this has to be done to xen 3.4.1

http://fluxcoil.net/doku.php/xen/docs

Quote:-

currently running: a patched NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11 on debian unstable 32bit with xen-3.1.1 compiled from mercurial testing

the patch for nvidia-driver 100.14.11 is here: http://fluxcoil.net/files/patch-xen3.0-nvidia100.14.11.txt (got it from http://www.nvnews.net )

To install make xen-kernelsources availabe, execute driver-binary with -x switch for extraction-only, cd to subdirectory usr/src, appy patch with 'patch -p0 </path/patch.file', execute nvidia-installer from the patch-directory to to install.

the patch for nvidia-driver 1.0-9746 is here: http://fluxcoil.net/files/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1_xendom0.patch (to be patched directly from the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9746 directory)

What version nvidia driver are you using with that?

I've tried 185.18.14, 180.44, 173.14.16 and 96.43.10. All with
identical results.
