Here's a GUI Script I whipped up about 6 months ago that should do it. All this does is the resolution change. You'll need to add any additional code on your own. GUI scripting is the only way (minus the use of scripting additions) to script a resolution change in OS X. Make sure "Enable Access for assistive devices" is turned on the in the Universal Access preference pane for GUI Scripting to work.

tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set the current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.displays"
end tell

tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
tell tab group 1 of window 1
click radio button "Display"
tell group 1
tell table 1 of scroll area 1
repeat with i from 1 to count of rows
if value of text field 1 of row i is "1024 x 768" then
set selected of row i to true
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

Hope this helps.

Jason

Hi,

The machine I'm currently working on is a 17" flat panel iMac, running at 1.25 GHz. It is definitely possible that I have the screen resolution wrong. Sorry 'bout that. 1024 x 768 definitely sounds better.

I don't do UI scripting so I was just stabbing in the dark, but that may well be the problem. At least try it with a value that is correct for your monitor, and if it still doesn't work then we can look at it closer.
