No, I'm using nVidia

amd64x2:~$ sudo lspci -v | grep -A 7 -F VGA
00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51PV [GeForce
6150] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
       Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. A8N-VM CSM
       Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 5
       Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]

You can find detailed information on the errors I'm getting on a
previous thread "Xorg problem with xen" on this list 3 days ago.

Any help on compile or get a working xen on debian would be appreciated.
