i915: 2.6.36: Monitor incorrectly detects 1920x1199

[Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe]

Hello,

starting with 2.6.36 my monitor displays a resolution of 1920x1199
instead of 1920x1200 on its OSD. As a result, I guess, the display is
blurred in the middle section (top to down) - most likely due to
stretching applied by the monitor.

This issue shows up when loading i915 (KMS enabled) with 2.6.37 and
2.6.36 (also 2.6.36.2). With 2.6.35 (up to 2.6.35.10) the monitor
correctly displays 1920x1200 and doesn't blur anything.

The Chipset is an Intel G35 on an Asus P5E-V HDMI, the monitor is a
Yuraku YV24WBH1 connected via DVI (DVI to HDMI adapter, the board
doesn't have a separate DVI port).

The `fbset' output with 2.6.37 and 2.6.35.10 doesn't differ:
	mode "1920x1200"
	    geometry 1920 1200 1920 1200 32
	    timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
	    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0
	endmode
