I've been trying to run X from domU. For what it's worth all the
success I've had with graphics drivers (and there's been plenty with
only a single card :) has been with standard bits out of Debian,
I've not built anything at all from source.
I was giving domU direct PCI access to the graphics devices and with
a slight tweak to the allowed memory (change a xen file in dom0)
X worked happily.

(I'm aiming at having several domUs each with their own video card
  and input and copy of X - other things have taken priority here
  at the moment though :()
