I've been running it against the list in this Wiki:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenPVOPSDRM

But I think you are referring to the nVidia motherboard chipset. In that case 
I've run
it on some MCP55 chipset, and there are also some other nForce chipsets - but I 
don't
remember the specific models.

Hm, remote xterm console does not require you to run Xorg on your DomU. So this 
looks
tobe two different issues you are hitting.

What happens when you do 'vncviewer :0' ? Can you see the GNOME startup of your 
DomU?

What kind of garbage do you see in you remote xterm console? CAn you take a 
screenshot and
send it?
