There's not really anything you should have to do to get that effect, as
it's the default already.  All you have to do is actually turn onn minor
tics:

	set mxtics

That does not do at all what you appear to intend.

You did not get any minor tic interval at all, because you didnt's turn
on minor tics.

You requested a major tic _scale_ of 10 (which is the length of the tick
marks), and because you didn't specify otherwise, the minor tic scale
changed to match it.  If you had really wanted the minor tic length a 1,
that should have read

	set xtics scale 10,1

As-is the '1' becomes the x tic interval instead.  Note how it changed
from "intervals computed automatically" to "series by 1".
