           Summary: X/Radeon makes Fn+F7 not function
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: umar at compsci.cas.vanderbilt.edu


I am running 6.8.1 from FC3 (latest devel) on an IBM Thinkpad T42. The key 
combination for toggling between LCD and external monitor, fn+f7, stops 
functioning as soon as X starts. The keys work fine in character mode (ctrl-alt-f1). 
Is X grabbing these keys somehow. I am using acpi to access the keys. All other 
fn+fx combinations work fine (with standard ibm-acpi and suspend2 setup). 
I need a reliable lcd/external switching since I use the laptop for presentations 
etc. 
 
Thanks
