Yes. Accelerated nouveau running fine.

domU has no X - just minimal console based debian-etch with
non-graphical browser and some utilities.

Switching between the domU VT-console to qemu console (focus on
domU console, ctrl-alt-2(for xm commands to eject, ...)) and back (ctrl-alt-1)
>From corrupt screen, ctrl-alt-2 goes back to xm-console fine as many times
as you want. Using sendkey ctrl-alt-F2 switches to corrupt login screen on
VT-2 of domU. On xen-3.4rc3, all of these work fine.

Yes. This is what gets corrupted.
