I've updated the patch for the nvidia driver, so it compiles (not too
much cleanly, but compiles). I've tested it on Debian Etch x86_64,
etch-backports xen 3.2 and the xensource linux 2.6.18.8 kernel from
mercurial (downloaded and compiled with the xen source 3.2.0 tarball
scripts).

I have 3d working (I've tried openarena), multi-monitor and hdtv
output on my geforce 8400gs pci express. I don't know if an agp card
and or i386 will work.

If someone wants to try it:
http://downloads.tuxfamily.org/emiscabpo/other/nvidia-169.09-xen-dirty.patch

Please send me any comments about this patch (if it's wrong, if it's
bad etc etc).

On the dmesg I have the usual:
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:04:00.0 to 64

NVRM: bad caching on address 0xffff88006ed99000: actual 0x77 != expected 0x73

but although this, it seems to work.

Bye,
Emilio
