Yes..if I do ctrl-alt-f1 and try fn+f7 it toggles perfectly fine. Here is the
comment from ibm-acpi regarding radeon:

"Note that on many models (particularly those using Radeon graphics
chips) the X driver configures the video card in a way which prevents
Fn-F7 from working. This also disables the video output switching
features of this driver, as it uses the same ACPI methods as
Fn-F7. Video switching on the console should still work."
