Unfortunately this did not work. I removed ibm-acpi module, rebooted, the
BiosHotkey option was enabled for X11 and shows up in the log file. No
response.

Furthermore, I also tried doing

tail -f /var/log/acpid

and then hit fn+f7 key...no response. Peculiar thing is that I tried it in the
text mode as well and did not see anything despite the fact that video was
toggling correctly!

What I observed is that when I do fn+f7 the BIOS setting in the computer's
bios does change from "ThinkPad LCD" to "external VGA" but only once i.e. it
does not go back if I hit it again. I can go into bios at startup and
revert it. Is something funny going on?
Thanks
