At best, at one stage (unfortunately forgot with which combinations of xen version / kernel / binary driver) I managed to get the binary driver to work, but without proper 3D support, glxgears showing something like 3fps when running Xen; honestly I'm starting to think that for Dom0 it's best to use a driver like nouveau unless you can get pass through working to assign the device to a DomU.

Otherwise I almost always have issues with either a) getting the driver compiled due to unable to identify kernel correctly, or b) errors like "NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed!" and inability to even start X.

If anyone has had better luck, could you please post your: xen version, kernel version and binary driver version.
