I''ll try not to be the opposite of what your G. Eliot quote says...
If by VGA you actually mean emulated VGA, then yes, you can''t use that
in para-virtual (or xenified) guest, as they don''t have that sort of
device-model. The qemu-dm that is used by the HVM (unmodified) guests is
simply not there in para-virtual guests.
You can still use for example vncserver or ssh -X to run x-windows APPS
on your DomU - which is close to what you end up doing with qemu-dm in
the HVM guest too, since the HVM guest draws to a window within your
(X-)display on the host.
I hope this is clear...
