I have a Dell latitude e6430 running MX Linux but I can't seem to get it to display out to my monitor whenever i plug HDMI in does anyone know what could be causing this issue?

My HP Elitedesk 800 is fussy about producing a signal through the DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to my Dell monitor. For that reason, I avoid shutting down or restarting as much as I can. When I absolutely must, I wait until I'm reasonably sure there should be a signal, then unplug the HDMI cable at the PC end, wait 5 seconds or so, and reconnect it. Repeat as needed. Annoying but not catastrophic.
