Thanks, IOhannes!
Those units being treated like hardware synth boxes which have a patch editor that needs to be set to 1920x1080 to work correctly. My problem is that neither xrandr nor the /etc/X11/xorg.conf is working on the older mainboards for some strange reason.

With something like (untested example specific to my setup):

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" | loggergmdsar IOhannes
