root causes so please be sure to open your own bug by running:

Title:
[i915] external monitor goes black for several seconds at a time,
randomly
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
At times it is completely debilitating; at other times it does not happen for
hours.
The physical connections are clean and solid.
I guess the attachments will show that I'm using Intel graphics
hardware. The monitor is a very popular Samsung one.
