To add to what Ben said: Typically the resolution of the sheaf mapping ${\frak{g}}\to\Gamma(TX)$ is the *Spencer resolution*, which is a canonical $G$-equivariant exact sequence of differential operators $D_i:\Gamma(V_i)\to \Gamma(V_{i+1})$ for $0\le i< n = \dim X$, where $V_0 = TX$ and $\mathrm{ker}(D_0) = {\frak{g}}$. When you have a flat $(G,X)$-geometry on a manifold $M$, this sequence pulls back (under the local charts) to define the corresponding sequence on $M$. For example, when $G$ is the group of isometries of a (simply-connected) $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $X$ of constant curvature, one finds that the ranks $r_i$ of the bundles $V_i$ over $X$ are $$ (r_0,r_1,r_2,r_3) = (3,6,6,3) $$ and that the order of the differential operators $D_0$ and $D_2$ is $1$ while the order of the differential operator $D_1$ is 2. When $G$ is the group of conformal transformations of compactified flat $3$-space~$X = S^3 = \mathbb{R}^3\cup\{\infty\}$, then the ranks are $$ (r_0,r_1,r_2,r_3) = (3,5,5,3) $$ and the order of the differential operators $D_0$ and $D_2$ is $1$ while the order of the differential operator $D_1$ is 3. As another explicit example, if you take $G$ acting on $X = G$ by left-translation, then the Lie algebra of symmetries is the right-invariant vector fields on $G$, and there is a unique (flat) connection $\nabla$ on $TG$ whose parallel sections are the right-invariant vector fields. In this case, $V_i = TG\otimes \Lambda^i(T^*G)$ and $D_i$ is just the $\nabla$-twisted exterior derivative $\mathrm{d}^\nabla:TG\otimes \Lambda^i(T^*G)\to TG\otimes \Lambda^{i+1}(T^*G)$, so $r_i = n{n\choose i}$ and the order of $D_i$ is $1$ for all $i$. Look in any book that treats the *Spencer resolution* or the topic of *Lie equations* for references. (I'm traveling, so I don't have access to the literature.) One general purpose reference that treats this topic from a much more general point of view (and contains the important references to the earlier literature from the 50s, 60s, and 70s) is Chapter X of the book *Exterior Differential Systems* by Bryant, Chern, Gardner, Goldschmidt, and Griffiths (Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Publications, volume 18, 1991). It has long been out of print, but you can download a copy of the whole book from http://library.msri.org/books/Book18/MSRI-v18-Bryant-Chern-et-al.pdf. [Chapters IX and X can be read independently from the first eight chapters.] (Caution: There are many misprints, but there was never a second edition published, so the reader has to be somewhat careful.)
