You can make an LCD pretend to be at other resolutions but unless it's
an even multiple the result won't be good.

A 1680x1050 can do a reasonable 840x525 by just showing each pixel 4
times.  Other numbers introduce rounding errors and text won't look
good.

I think you might be able to mess with the DPI settings to get
better results.

I sometimes need to use VNC for a windows system with a smaller
resolution.  I execute this command to magnify the window:

xrandr -s 1024x768

back to native mode is:

xrandr -s 1600x1200
