Hi people!
I want to have a feature installed on my gentoo machine, that if I boot
I am will see a high resolution console.
When I boot from the system rescue cd, at boot time it is being switch
to a higher resolution, which I want to have on my default system as well.
Can somebody of you tell me, how to accomplish this task?!

That's for X11, not for the console.

There's a part in it covering KMS, which is what the OP needs, but you'd
have to know what you want in order t find it.

I believe if you'll *read* that guide, Kernel modesetting will be there.

Possible solutions that you can google for more details:
kernel modesetting (if you don't use nvidia-drivers)
uvesafb
vesafb
fbterm (a userland program)
jfbterm (like fbterm focused on multilingual/utf8 support)
You may also want or need to install gpm for console mouse support
