- Did you passthru all the PCI IDs or just one?
I'm only aware of one ID -> xen-pciback.hide=(01:00.0)

- Was it primary or secondary graphics adapter?
primary

- Motherboard vendor/model and BIOS version/CPU version
Asus P7P55D Evo
bios 1207 (old)
core i7 860

- How did it work.. did you have some issues?
the nv driver on linux works fine (as good as it can)
it takes a bit before you see VGA output on boot
the console cursor was positioned higher than normal (sitting at over the halfway mark for the font)
shutdown of Xorg can leave you with a blank console
shutdown then Restart of domU without restarting dom0 may lead to no VGA output, however you can still ssh in and startx (Xorg) and it will produce output

Was this primary or secondary adapter?

Also please refresh the XenVGAPassthrough wiki page and send all
the information asked there.. so I can add your entry there.

Thanks!
