How to make zbm display to thunderbolt docking ?

[digrouz]

Hello,

I've a working zbm/fedora installation. I've just a somehow annoying behavior, is that when my laptop is connected to docking station, zbm does not show display there, so i don't know when to enter the key to unlock the pool.

Any idea on how to enable display through the docking in zbm?

Thanks

That's likely impossible; ZBM strips all video drivers and other supporting software out of the initramfs it generates. Video hardware in general can't be initialized beyond being a simple EFI frame buffer since it can struggle to come back up cleanly after kexec. You might be able to hack in the drivers and tooling for a custom build, but I expect that it will be fairly fragile.
