I’m sure there must be a retry with a backoff somewhere. But most of the times I noticed that the EDID is incomplete, not blank. I don’t think there’s any way for the OS to know that there’s a more complete EDID if it tries again later. That’s also my theory on why the Intel/AMD/NVidia GPUs feel more stable than the Apple Silicon ones: they had years of dealing with these edge cases and probably adding all the workarounds they could think of, while Apple is still catching up.
