Hi,
At work, I must use the nvidia proprietary drivers.
I also have to use Xen.
As we now, nvidia module compilation fails when it detects a xen kernel (it's 
not package level, it' the kind of 'configure' script embeded, I think).
As far as I know, it only parses the config file of the _runnning_  kernel 
(with uname -r).
I did not try anything yet, but I ask for advice. What would be the solutions 
to lie to the nvidia-kernel-source in order to make it compile on a Xen 
kernel? Is it OK to fake the kernel config file with a non-Xen config? Or is 
there another solution?
I want to stay with packages, I dont want to install non packaged software, 
and I'm running Sid.

Thank you...

I know it's "working" on some other distros:
