Native Ubuntu 9.04 X-Server works for me with any xenified 2.6.29.X,2.6.30.X kernel (aka Suse) . GeForce 8500 GT installed on both boxes. Xen host boots into Gnome desktop environment right away.
I just replaced GeForce 7X00 cards about year and half ago due to problems with tuning Solaris Nevada X-Server

Just wondering what it will take to get the nvidia binary driver working on a pv_ops kernel.
It makes it difficult to debug without the source to the nvidia driver, but I think it should be possible to get it to work without changing the binary driver. If the dom0 kernel had access to all the resources that a bare metal kernel did, then it should work right?
I'm using Jeremy's current master branch, and hypervisor 3.4.1-rc6 on Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit.
Attached is my kern.log and Xorg.0.log when I attempt to start Xorg. The screen goes blank and my monitor enters powersave mode, but I am able to run an xterm and it appears to connect to the X server.
Also when the X server exits, it returns the console to a sane state.
I've also tried to get the nvidia driver to work with rebased suse kernel 2.6.29.6 and hypervisor 3.3 and 3.4. With that version kernel it blacks the screen. I can remote ssh in to my pc, but I can't reboot the pc. It needs a hard reset.
