In the case of Kadischi, the resolution range is predefined using 
Kickstart configuration files.

1) resolution= is an Anaconda parsed parameter.
2) vga= is a kernel parsed parameter.
3) You are not looking at "the installer" when you boot a LiveCD.. 
unless something has changed I am not aware of.
3a) ISOLINUX and GRUB are both bootloaders, but not installers.

My suggestion to you is to use a Kickstart configuration file using a 
resolution and Hsync Vsync rates
which match your CRT or LCD.

If you are not meaning a LiveCD created by you with Kadischi, please 
elaborate next time.
Hope this helps.
