Using the repurposed openSUSE 2.6.31 patches, I was able to build a
xenified kernel that works with Ubuntu 9.10 and the nvidia-drivers - so
I now have 3d acceleration under Xen!  However I still cannot switch to
a console.  Switching to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) blanks the screen.  I
can switch back to X via Ctrl+Alt+F7 with no problems.  If I need to
restart gdm or X for some reason, I have to restart the computer as
restarting X blanks the screen as well and it won't come back until a
reboot.

Do you experience anything similar with the ATI drivers?  Are you using
the open source driver for both of your ATI cards?
