Yes it works on the host and I have some information like power 
consumption, temperature of the GPU, etc...

I also tried to start an X server but I got the same error reported in 
the syslog:  [  435.745673] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x26:0x38:1170)
  [  435.745695] NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed

And in the xorg.log I have:
