I think cscreen ( eg. $ cscreen -x 1650 -y 1050 -r 59.9) used to be 
available but I don't see it in 10.6*.

You might find an answer here:

I have no experience of setting screen resolution, though I'm pretty 
sure I used cscreen in the past to *get" the size of the display.  I 
think you might need to be careful and there may be a good reason why 
Apple no longer installs cscreen.
