There isn't any. Xen DomU support is now built in by default.

Their installer is broken.

Then do so, because they fixed it to actually build. (At least this bug can
be fixed because it is in the glue code for which source code is provided.)
And the RPMs will also properly override the system libraries instead of
braindeadly overwriting them like NVidia's installer does. Overwriting is
going to break as soon as libGL gets updated in Fedora.

Because you used a broken installer.

No, you would be better off using properly-packaged drivers. (You would be
even better off buying hardware supported by drivers which are actually
Free Software and part of Fedora instead of buying NVidia's crap and using
their crappy proprietary drivers, but if you must use those drivers, at
least use proper packages for them!)
