On 3.4 the xserver seems to be working but Gnome isn't happy,  outputs the sad face "something has gone wrong" screen when trying to start the session manager (same gnome install works in fallback mode with xv) xserver is working at some level as I can open an xterm on that display from another vcons. In 3.7-rc5 the server (as Andreas' suggests) won't start,  random horizontal lines,  rug patterns etc.
