Read the Framebuffer-HOWTO. You should be aware though, that using X on the Framebuffer device is very slow compared to using native XFree86 accelerated drivers. The best way to get high resolution text consoles and full XFree86 performance, is to use SVGATextMode to set the text video mode to something high like 160x100 for lots of text real estate at boot time, then use X normally. -- Mike A.
