Maybe something like system-config-display or redhat-config-display or
Xconfigurator or vga=791 or ?????

Why not tell us what version of Linux your using and what you really mean by
the 'booting screen'.

Booting srceen = when I select Linux (FedoraCore4) in the bootmenu,
then the information is in a graphical frame, which resolution is too
big...

Resolution at this time is handled at boot time using the kernel line in
grub, try something like for example;

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.14.3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet vga=791

The screen resolution will be at 1024x768x64-k colors or
128 cols + 48 lines. See the table below for other resolutions and color
depths. (Best viewed with a mono-space font)

Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024

256 769 771 773 775

32k 784 787 790 793

64k 785 788 791 794

16M 786 789 792 795
