I have a Dell Vostro 3400 with Intel Iris Xe Graphics and I can't get my external monitor to work properly. I've installed the driver i915 and Ubuntu detects the monitor, but I get no signal output to my monitor when I try to power it up, my screen just keeps blinking as if the monitor was getting connected and disconnected consecutively.

$ lspci -nnk | grep -A 3 VGA | grep -E "VGA|driver"
