Hey,
I would like to be able to squeeze more elements on my screen. My maximum resolution is 1366x768.
Is it possible to use a resolution higher than the graphic card's limit? Would it bring any advantage? Are there any alternatives? Like decreasing the size of the graphical elements? I use LXDE.
Interesting advice/tools would be appreciated.

Yes it's possible, but it'll look terrible:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1366x768 --scale-from 1600x900 --panning 1600x900
To switch back:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1366x768 --scale 1x1 --panning 1366x768
You should go for reducing the size of GUI elements. LXDE means GTK2, which means you can tweak the theme file - /usr/share/themes/<theme-name>/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
BTW, the limit isn't the graphic card, it's the display. LCD displays only have one resolution, the only way to go higher or lower is scaling, and scaling naturally creates blur.

Thanks Gusar, I'll play with the theme settings then.
