tinypilot can't handle resolution changes and frequently hangs

By @wgg

    My tinypilot is connected to an "AIMOS" hdmi/usb kvm. Connected devices use various display mode/resolutions. When switching between devices, the display often becomes garbled, usually like this:

    After a few seconds, the tinypilot hangs and has to be power cycled.

    Is this a known problem with a workaround, or a possible hardware issue?

        Note the HDMI input to the tinypilot is via a HDMI splitter, and there are no display issues on the monitor attached to the other HDMI output.

            UPDATE:

            The above specific issue does NOT seem to occur with a different unbranded (and crappy/unreliable) KVM switch I have.

            However, TinyPilot seems to have some incompatibility with one of the attached devices, which I have verified by plugging it directly in to the TinyPilot. It is onboard HDMI output from a MSI B460M motherboard. When entering the BIOS, the display is garbled, and the (client) machine completely hangs and requires a power cycle. The TinyPilot continues functioning.

            Any advice appreciated

                FWIW I see the following in the tinypilot logs preceding the behaviour
