Hi,
Running tumbleweed/gnome on an laptop that has an Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2) connected to an external ultrawide asrock monitor. It has a resolution of 3440x1440 but that doesn’t show up in the options. Running latest updates etc. It’s connected to a hdmi (1.4) output at max 3840x2160@30hz. The option below that is 2560x1440@60hz. Using it as primary screen with laptop disabled did change anything.
Some advice would be nice!
Greetings.
*did NOT change anything.
Model? Producer?
My experience with this is, with HDMI as a connector it can’t go further than what you are experiencing .
You might probably have to use the DP if your laptop/monitor support it or maybe DP to HDMI.
Also with my desktop if I use HDMI the boot screen can only support resolution lower than 1920X1080.
Asrock PG34WQ15R2B:
No DP on laptop as most do not have that. On paper it should work bandwidth wise. It’s a temp setup until I have my rx7800xt in my pc installed. Just wanted to see the display in action.
Maybe change your grub config file. On manjaro I could set a fixed resolution. Maybe something simaler is possible on tumbleweed.
I need laptop model, not just monitor.

I’m alright all is well here with grub. I just stated that in reply from experience before when I replace my aging card with an RTX
Intel UHD Graphics 620 (GT2)
HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 1.2
HDMI 1.4 - UWQHD 3440 × 1440 - up to 65 Hz with compatible cable.
According the laptop spec, the HDMI output at this model only supports a max resolution of 1920x1080@60Hz (HDMI)
This seems strange as the CPU and HDMI could support way more, but i’m not sure where this limitation comes from…

In practice it does as described in the OP. Should be able to do more according to hdmi specs. I used the included cable (1 meter).

Depending on motherboard, CPU & iGPU you may get working setup without dGPU.

Hmmm, there are informations available that HDMI 1.4 does only support a max resolution of 3840x2160 but not UWQHD with 3440x1440. So the limiting factor in this case is the HDMI 1.4 port of your laptop…the monitor seems to new for this type of laptop.
pixel wise it should be capable by the looks of it
This the best I can do with one of my Kaby Lakes:

Notice lack of a “+” to designate the display’s preferred mode anywhere in xrandr output, and absence of 60Hz in modes higher than 1920x1080. That indicated DP-1 is from running a DP-to-HDMI converter, but running without the converter, using the same HDMI to HDMI cable, produces the same numbers. When I connect my Rocket Lake with same HDMI cable to same LG, 3840x2160 is achieved:

There’s a downside. 
With only the LG connected to my Rocket Lake, I never see a BIOS prompt, nor a Grub menu. I have to plug in a second display to see either, and thus select to boot TW instead of memtest86, and memtest86 won’t output anything to the LG either. 
The good part is my LG is for watching TV, normally only used with computers to do testing like this.
