As for the resolution, as I understand it the laptop panels get super cranky when you try to change it.  Instead, you should be able to just change the font.  I don't have an XFCE install handy, but this appears to help: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=1735.

Tried to use xfce4: the screen resolution can be set by 0.1 v and h but rendering is not existent.
A point of view that should have been mentioned by the coders of this xfce4 interface.
So they should implement proper rendering insted of implementing a gimmik.

btw. reducing from 1920x1080 to 1366x768 INCREASES the available dpi for the screen to show.
As long as someone renders the view properly. If someone just cuts the view in half the pixels were doubled up and therefore blurred.
I think this was xrandr before they started war on my mental wellness.
