How can I change the screen resolution? Do I have to pop into Carbon and do it? If so, how? Do I #import <Carbon/Carbon.h> and then just use all the Carbon stuff as I would in C? Isn't there an example "Carbon in Cocoa" on Apple's website?

In general, yes, that is all there is to using most Carbon API's. There are some exceptions regarding API's that include GUI, and there is indeed a sample code project on Apple's site demonstrating how to do that.

In this case, you don't need to use Carbon. There are other C API's in ApplicationServices (CoreGraphics) that allow you to do it.

First import <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h>, then use the functions in CGDisplayConfiguration.h to change the resolution.

If you want to change the resolution in preparation for some full screen work you are going to do (that does not include Quartz drawing), then you should first capture the display. That will make sure that other applications are not confused by what you are doing to the display.
