"help set xtics" helps. You can alway add additional labels by

   set xr [1:100]
   set xtics add (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100)

The tics increment is treated as a multiplicator for logscale axes

   set xtics 2

What the minor increment does is not really documented, try

  set xtics 10,2

vs.

  set xtics 2,10
