Don't mix PV and HVM consoles up. PV 'console' is very specific way to 
declare serial port, not a 'display'. HVM do supports very slow 
emulation of S3 video card (graphics). I'm not sure if anyone anytime 
thought about implementing fast local graphic. May be PV drivers will 
hepls a little, but not much, because they don't support for any 2D/3D 
acceleration.
Display you getting in XenCenter enough to configure your server. If you 
need fast graphic - use RDP, VNC, ICA=Metaframe Presentation Server (it 
naming right now XenApp, it completely different technology from Xen and 
have nothing in common), radmin and so on. Those services must be 
configured inside virtual machine and 'how to do this' is not topic here 
(google://configure RDP).
