controller, when starting X using Xen, the screen turns into a vague
grey screen, with small verticals lines, and changing patterns, like
it's blown up or so.
what options to xen are you using. Better, what's the grub stanza?
Is this integrated on the mobo?
Are you using intelfb|i810fb, whichever drives this?
What happens when you boot to runlevel 3?
The system (and display) works fine with the normal kernel.
But when using Xen, I can't even switch to another console using
CTRL-ALT-F1, I can only use the reset button.
Any ideas of what's causing this symptom and if there is a solution?

Do you have the option of installing some other graphics card?
I've had several machines with Intel graphics: an Ipex Pentium III, Dell
GX270 and others, and most recently an IBM Thinkcentre which has this:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)
which I've more-or-less got working (framebuffer under Xen no less), but
the Dell defeated me.
On the thinkcentre this works:
