You'll find that the X server is in an infinite loop. It does this even if 
Xorg.conf is removed altogether. It will also start just fine with the 
non-xen kernel, as it did with the xen kernel that was in the original 
FC6. It's been like this since some time in October. I'd also like to know 
the solution. MGA550/x86 in my case.
