In the 2.6.32 kernels, I've seemed to have lost the ability to use the fn-f8 key to togle external displays. Using xev I see that

KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x5800001, root 0x15a, subw 0x5800002, time 869383, (55,45), root:(93,132), state 0x50, keycode 33 (keysym 0x70, p), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (70) "p" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (70) "p" XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x5800001, root 0x15a, subw 0x5800002, time 869531, (55,45), root:(93,132), state 0x50, keycode 33 (keysym 0x70, p), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (70) "p" XFilterEvent returns: False

This works just fine with the 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64, but not with any of the 2.6.32 kernels.

Any hints?

Thanks.

Hello, did you solved the Problem ?

since 4 day a have a new Dell Precsion M4500 and the fn-f8 key only gives a 'p' I am using FC14 with Kernel : 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686.PAE

on my old Precsion M70 all works fine - what can be the problem ?

Thanks for any information

Reinhard

I've added the following to the kernel boot line in menu.lst

acpi_osi=Linux

Solved the problem

Thanks same for me not all works fine. Reinhard
