My experience with nvidia graphics and Dom0 is that after building the driver 
for Xen0, insmod'ing the nividia driver causes my Opteron dual core system to 
reset.   This is with the latest driver from nvidia (8756 for x86_64).    The 
nvidia driver that came with SuSE 10 NLD worked a bit better, but the display 
would freeze after about 5 minutes (hence the search for newer drivers on the 
nvidia web site).  

This is all with changeset 9465 and 2.6.16-xen0.

So I think you may have a non-starter there....   I've switched to an ATI 
graphics card.
