Booting an Encrypted System With Laptop and External Monitor

When I used to power on my laptop that's in a docking station with the lid closed my external monitor would show the login screen.  Now that I have encrypted my hard drive, the login screen is on the laptop.  I have to open my laptop and login.  Once I log in I can close my laptop screen and use my external monitor.  How do I configure an encrypted system to display the login on my external monitor?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • I've had similar on a few of our laptops. To overcome this you need to switch POA to VGA mode and it should work fine afterwards albeit the display is not as good but at least it will work on the external monitor whilst docked.
