This is likely the same underlying issue as 601341 and friends, which is
that the Xen dom0 kernel does not currently fully support DRI/DRM
graphics.
Patches which resolve the issue have been posted upstream, but I don't
know if the maintainer accepted them yet. The patches also need a
non-trivial amount of backport to the kernel to be used in Squeeze.

That is the only entry which would result in you running under Xen so
this is not surprising.
