Xen / Nvidia / X86_64 / 10.3

I just installed SuSE 10.3 x86_64 onto a box with a dual core AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+, and an onboard NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE. It seems to work fine with the default kernel, but if I boot up the Xen kernel, the graphics driver does not work, and X will not start.

Is this a known issue? How can I get Xen working on this box?

Thanks in advance

I installed Xen on a similar configuration and had the same problem.
Messages suggested "error in X system configuration" so I reinstating a previous backup copy of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and that did it for me.

The only notable difference between the 2 files are:
-hsync and +vsync in "Modes"
Driver "nv" vs. "Nvidia" and BusID in "Devices".

If you have an older version of the file, try it.
If you dont have a backup ... MAKE ONE
Then try making changes manually.

Extract from the /etc/X11/xorg.conf-files
Working file:
Section "Modes"
Identifier "Modes[0]"
Modeline "1920x1200" 154.00 1920 1968 2000 2080 1200 1203 1209 1235

If you are using OpenSuse 10.3 ? un-install XEN it does not work at all start using VirtualBox OSE it is great you can install it from http://software.opensuse.org/search
just put in virtualbox as you search string.
