Hello,

I try to get a Nvidia Quadro PCI-E graphics card to work with xen in Dom0 with the binary nivida-drivers. I use the xen-2.0-testing tarball with kernel 2.6.12 and the nvidia driver package NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1. The nvidia kernel module compiles without errors but when I try to load it segfaults.
Is it possibly because the tls-libs are disabled?
Has anyone managed to get the nvidia drivers to work with xen? Or is there a general problem with xen + nvidia?

Not sure I can help, but there's been general problems with nvidia driver for a looong time. Check the threads on nvnews.com . Many still use the old 6629 driver, though it doesn't have as many fancy features as later drivers. Then again, you may not need 8x AA and AF...

Of cause those problems are not normally related to Xen, but you may wan't to give 6629 a try.
