I’m wondering if there is any plan to enable the BIOS being passed through to an external monitor? As it is, my current setup is
Monitor → KVM Dock → Thunderbolt port on Framework (battery disconnected)
For me, it would be great to be able to access BIOS/pre-boot on an external monitor, because as it stands, I have to open the lid to the laptop to boot, and wait for the GRUB menu to be able to see something on my screen (occassionally, the Framework will not output to the monitor, and I have to unplug and reboot my laptop to get the laptop to connect to the monitor. I do not believe this is an issue with my KVM dock, as when I swap to my other connected laptop, the display shows up fine).
My two feature requests are:
- Output BIOS/pre-boot to an external monitor, if connected. This would also lead to number 2, which is
- Allow the laptop to boot with the lid closed. I should not have to leave the laptop lid open to be able to get past BIOS. I should be able to plug in the laptop, and let it go, without waiting for POST to finish.
