I'm trying to get to the following setup
Lenovo T520 with
Oneric (unity removed......horrible) with linux-image-server and xen suite installed.
nvidia manual binary driver installation with ignore xen presence set.

IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=y CC="gcc -DNV_VMAP_4_PRESENT -DNV_SIGNAL_STRUCT_RLIM" ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-###.##-pkg2.run

The ideal is to have a laptop that provides xen/sandpit environments whilst still being useful for HD/3D stuff on the move(i.e. cloud in my bag + hotel entertainer)

Now I can get Ironhide installed but it pulls in the Oneric bundled drivers for nvidia and works, but as soon as I boot into a xen kernel this breaks because nvidia driver is not loaded due to lack of xen support.

Hopefully I can make a manual ironhide installation after binary Nvidia install?

Thanks

Simon
