Unfortunately, the control panel has to enabled to the current user. At least
for a script that easy.
There may be other ways to change to monitor resolution, however I don't know
waht they are.
Perhaps Akua Sweets has a command.
The easiest way is to just re-enable the control panel for the user, then your
script should work fine.
