Description:

It appears to be a known issue
http://linuxers.org/howto/how-install-nvidia-driver-xen-kernel-centos-55final

Installed Xen 4.2 from AUR and modified my grub.conf to load it.
The boot messages are shown normally, but when KDM starts, the NVIDIA logo is shown for less than a sec then all the screen goes black, then my monitor says "No signal".

Curiosity: On KDM startup, the GPU fan speed goes fast then slower in a fraction of a sec, taking me to think that the driver have been crashed.

Additional info:
* package version(s):
304.64
* config and/or log files etc.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Install nvidia proprietary drivers.
2. Load Xen hypervisor
3. Start some X app (e.g. KDM)
4. Voila.
   bootlog.txt (73 KiB)
This task depends upon

nvidia doesn't support xen with consumers card.
also we do not support xen in our repos so again is unsupported.
