Hi,

I've been playing with X in domU again, got succesfull once, but find
it hard to reproduce because nvidiafb keeps locking up.
My setup is a Centos5 system, using 2 nvidia cards, and 2 usb cards.
I assign the PCI Graphics card and one usb card to DomU using pciback,
which seems to work great.
The problem occurs when I want to modprobe nvidiafb in DomU, almost all
the time it locks up, thus I am unable to use it as a display device
for X.
I tried with and without X running in dom0 (using nv driver in dom0 by the
way)

I also tried to start X in domU with nv driver, but that gives a different
error:
    Fatal server error:
    xf86MapVidMem: Could not mmap framebuffer (0x000a0000,0x20000) (Bad
address)


Regards,
Mark.
