Hello,
first of all this is a wrong mailinglist.. you should be using xen-users
for xen/pvops stuff. xen-xci-devel is for XCI stuff.
Back to your issues; it's pretty hard to track down and solve since
the nvidia driver is binary-only, and there's no source for it to
either read the code to see what it's doing, or to debug it.
Some guys recently got Nouveau working in Xen pvops dom0, with some
extra patches. See xen-devel archives for that.
