I use nouveau, but this will have to wait until 2011.

I don't particularly care which one works. I was using nv before (with
kernel 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 and Xen 3.2.1); when I started to upgrade to
kernel 2.6.32 and Xen 4.0, nv refused to load with a recent kernel
(modesetting in effect), so I tried switching to nouveau, but hit this
bug. I'm now using nouveau with kernel version 2.6.32-26+xen0, and
that works nicely.
