Which kernel are you using? I had no success with the xensource 2.6.18
or the 2.6.20/21 that are in Gentoo portage, it was this which
initially prompted me to rebase the opensuse xen patches and release a
updated kernel ebuild, the first kernel which worked for me was
2.6.25.

I have you tried running strace on the X process when it is in this state?

Can you post the X.org log ? (probably /var/log/Xorg.0.log)

Might be worth a try, I had problems with the first card I tried which
I believe was a 9600GT,

Again might be worth a try, I've only ever used Xen that I've compiled
on the system itself.
