... Now if only someone would club nVidia into supporting Xen. (Xen under Solaris, just like Linux, is unsupported.)

I'm aware of this project.
However, this project requires at least basic support from the driver.

However, at least in my experience, the nVidia module blows up when being loaded into a Xen aware kernel *, so this project is limited to OSS/Built-in drivers.

* Only under Linux; Never tested Xen under OpenSolaris.
