Yes, the drivers from Nvidia's site will be doing all
sorts of bad things on top of Xen. Physical addresses
are virtual :-) in i86xpv.  They need to be translated
to machine addresses.  There are other things too
which the nvidia driver and associated code has to
do differently on i86xpv.

There performance shouldn't be that bad :-) I would
expect you would see ~ 3 1/2 FPS with the nv driver
which is S/W only.

John M, any ideas on how to debug this further?
