I've been running it against the list in this Wiki:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenPVOPSDRM

But I think you are referring to the nVidia motherboard chipset. In that case I've run
it on some MCP55 chipset, and there are also some other nForce chipsets - but I don't
remember the specific models.

While attempting to install Fedora 13 dom U as an HVM, using a 2.6.32.18 PVOPS dom0, running on Xen 4.0.1 on Fedora 13,  using virt-install --nographics, it reaches the point following the XML display of the boot guest configuration, reports an

Hm, remote xterm console does not require you to run Xorg on your DomU. So this looks
tobe two different issues you are hitting.

What happens when you do 'vncviewer :0' ? Can you see the GNOME startup of your DomU?

What kind of garbage do you see in you remote xterm console? CAn you take a screenshot and
send it?
