HD630: After A recent upgrade, the resolution reported to monitor is a false value.

[kmahyyg]

After a recent drivers upgrade offered by Intel Driver & Support Assistant, two version before the latest one is working in my memory.

I have two monitors, eDP-1 is the built-in one of my laptop. HDMI-1 is Dell E1911 (quite old).

eDP-1 is in 1920x1080, HDMI-1 is in 1440x900,  whatever I set in Windows Settings, the one on HDMI-1 will always looks like 1920x1080, it seems like driver reported false value to monitor... In previous 2 or 3 version, it works as intended. Please fix bug.

My another monitor Dell U2417H works fine...

However, the monitor on the right should fulfilled.

My settings. The 1440x900 is the recommended resolution by vendor.

The problem disappeared when I came into office this morning. It seems caused by a loose plug-in HDMI cable. Thanks for your support.
