Xen Dom0 support is not included, nor slated to be included, in F9.
Folks that need Xen Dom0 are advised to stay with F8. For more

You didn't mention any X problems.
For dom0, the following is already in the virtualization (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Virtualization ) beat:
"However, the Xen kernel now lacks Dom0 support. An existing Xen

added back in Fedora 10."
