On current Xen, with stdvga=1 & videoram=16, resolutions up to 2048x1536x32 are possible. There's never been any 800x600 "hardcoding" for HVM guests in regular xen - even with the cirrus model, resolutions up to 1280x1024 are available. If the resoltion in Vista is "locked" to 800x600, that must be some distro-specific tweak.
You're right, of course -- I had got confused with the pv vnc framebuffer. Again :-)

All that said, the RDP suggestion is probably a better way to access the guest in any case.

You generally get rather better performance that way although there are odd cases where network connectivity will conspire against you (mostly when you have a separate management LAN).
