why?

disk = [ 'file:/xen/images/RHEL.img,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r' ]

it's ok

/dev/hda == entire disk

/dev/hda1 |
/dev/hda2 |= partitions on it

/dev/hdaN |

VNC = remote access protocol.

To solve the problem, try to reconnect vncviewer, 
after domU changes its resolution and mode.
Just close vncviewer and attach it again.
