I've xtics being read from an input file.
Here gnuplot by default puts two minor tics in between the majors.

set xdata time
set timefmt "%Y-%m-%d"
set format x "%Y-%b-%d"

I've also x2tics and mx2tics generated as follows:

set x2tics
set mx2tics 4
set x2range [30774 : 40592]

Problem: I need labels on the minor tics in both cases.

How can I do that? I would appreciate some help. Thanks!

So far as I know, there is no way to put labels on minor tics.

Would it work for you to suppress the minor tics
(perhaps with 'set xtics scale 0' or whatever the
right syntax is), and cut down the major tic spacing?

Do you?  I ask because if you're reading ticks from a file, what is this:

> set format x "%Y-%b-%d"

supposed to do?

No such thing.  A tick with a label is a major tic by definition.
