But you should be able to access these settings under the Qubes menu,
System Settings, Display entry.
Thanks Unman,I found it and it is pretty easy, but maximum resolution option for the external monitor is 1024x768. Does this mean that for some reason it is impossible to set 1366x768?

I use an x230 here with an external 4k display and it works nicely, with
or without using the internal display as well. (using the mini-displayport
output, not VGA.)
As a start, I'd recommend to run "xrandr --auto" in dom0.
