The answer will be different for the SPARC and X86 platforms.  You need 
to specify which platform you want to change.

depends what you mean by "current display", framebuffer or X display:

xdpyinfo and xwininfo gives you some information from a running X.
If you want change the resolution of a X Client, have a look at the man 
pages from X or Xsun or whatevere you use, fidle with the resolution 
option and restart X.

for the framebuffer there are different commands depending from the 
graphic card  (fb) you have, look for the man page of your driver. I am 
not shure how there interact with X, at least their restart X, as i 
remember. for x86 also have a look for kdmconfig.

there is also an option for resolution in OBP for the screen parameter, 
e.g. setenv output-device screen:r1024x768x75
