Simulating resolution in a laptop

I was wondering if there's any way of simulating a higher resolution on a system that cannot perform.. example.. my t42 only does a 1024x768 resolution while I'm used to 1400x1200.. Is there any way I can simulate the higher resolution?
 
The pixels don't physically exist.

In theory you could allow creating and writing to a 1400x1200 frame buffer (or 20,000 x 20,000) but then you would still have to scale it down and display it using only the physical 1024x768 pixels, causing smearing / blurring.

Hit print screen, go into Paint, paste an image of your desktop, go to Image > Stretch/Skew, and type in 75% / 75%. That's what you'd get.

 
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. LCDs have a fixed number of pixels, horizontal and vertical. You can maker fewer of them light up, but not more than what are there. That would be physically impossible. Here's an analogy - if you have 16 light bulbs arrayed 4x4, can you make 20 of them light up?
