I think this statement need some qualification

a) without KMS it is possible - just select video mode during boot (or
explicitly pass vga=...) and X server will respect this setting

b) with KMS it is possible to set Linux console frame buffer video mode
using video=NxM option. But the problem here is, X server ignores it and
always selects some "best fit" resolution.

So the real question probably is - is it possible to make X server
respect currently chosen console resolution? If it is not possible - is
it possible to force fbdev X driver during installation?
