while this might work, i'm not so sure it's the right approach.

from the problem description, i assume that you are actually trying to 
setup some autostart for an installation or similar.

if this is the case: why don't you just set the screen resolution with 
the startup script?
wouldn't you expect the screen to have the proper resolution *before* 
starting Pd?

  most likely you have a startup script that launches Pd with the proper 
patch.
you can add arbitrary commands to that script, e.g.:

~~~
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode "1920x1080_60.00"
echo "starting Pd" | logger
cd /home/rpi/installation
pd -noadc _MAIN.pd
echo "Pd exited" | logger
~~~
