Yeah, I have just come to the same conlusion after trying to follow
instructions in the Ubuntu wiki... 99% wouldn't work, and it was
complicated indeed.
So I tried installing the nvidia driver, but the installer complains
that the kernel (the server one then) is a "xen" kernel, and it refuses
to install on "xen" kernel, it says !

Great, so either way I have to recompile, be it to ADD large mem
support to the generic kernel, or to REMOVE xen stuff from the server
one. Ouch ! ;-/
Okay I give up, I didn't though it would prove that challenging, so I
will just be happy with my 3.2BG instead of 4.0 GB... 
I still wonder why the large mem option was not enabled in the generic
kernel though, since RAM is mega cheap and many computers probably
have, or will soon come, with 4GB. 

Regards,
