I can't see how or if I can change just the x axis.
Particularly if you wish to change things like rotate the text you can just get gnuplot to output Postscript and use LaTeX with Postscript tricks to replace the x-axis text with the text that you want. Thats what I have done sometimes when I wanted very good control over the fonts and the axis text.
