Hi list.

I'm running xen 3.0.2 using dom0 as my desktop with ubuntu on a amd x86_64 kernel and a nvidia graphics card. I everything works great except if I spend around more than an hour on the desktop, I start having video problems. I tried installing the nvidia drivers for the card, but the install just crashes the machine, so I'm working in the frame buffer. The problem starts as just a few artifacts at first and within a few minutes I'm seeing all kinds of strange things. It almost looks like I'm seeing things that are in memory that I shouldn't (sorry I'm not sure how to explain better what it looks like). Has anyone else had problems like this or have any ideas how to fix the issue?
