Hi all,

I'm trying to get Xen running on my workstation for testing purposes. I
can boot into a console fine, but when I try to start X using the Nvidia
binary drivers, I get a black screen and nothing else. I am unable to
switch to virtual consoles, but the system is still fully responsive. I
can ssh into the machine to do work on it at that point. The only way to
get the console back is to reboot the machine.

I am using the -testing branch at present. I have a Via 82xx
Motherboard, and have AGPGART and the VIA driver (CONFIG_AGP and
CONFIG_AGP_VIA) in my kernel config. The kernel is a xenified vanilla
2.6.10.

Any ideas as to where to look and/or what more information you would
like would be greatly appreciated.
