Turns out this problem isn't exclusive to Xen kernels as someone on one 
of the Ubuntu lists has a similar problem.  Even though I can't get a 
display under text mode, X will work.
To try, in no order, are:

* rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf - and let X autoconfigure
* vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf - and use a lower resolution, 800x600, until you 
fix the xorg.conf
* just edit xorg.conf and read the X logs to debug xorg.conf as normal.

So in short it is working by just configuring X properly - still can't 
text mode working ...
