Welcome to DragonFly! Seems like you have german ancestors, at least
your name suggests that :)

Where exactly does it stop working? Can you provide a screenshot?

Note that DragonFly might not be the most user-friendly operating system
out there. It's likely that you will encounter some issues here and
there.  Some hardware might not be supported or some software will not
work. Keep that in mind. Other than that, it's a great operating system
with very helpful community.

Running DragonFly under KVM should work flawlessly. My DragonFly server
was running under KVM for years without any issues. Dunno about XEN. For
sure there is no dom0 support.
