Description

A user reported that on grml Linux, an error message appears during boot:

Probind EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok
Undefined video mode number : 317
Press <ENTER> to see video modes available, <SPACE> to continue, or wait 30 sec

They don't see this when connecting other display devices, so this seems to be specific to TinyPilot

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the boot output on grml Linux with TinyPilot and compare it with the other display devices that do not show the warning. Done means identifying the cause of video mode 317 being undefined and resolving or clearly handling the boot prompt.
