Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
* X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log),
* output of command xev when pressing function+F1,
* output of the dmesg command, and
* system log (/var/log/messages)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

output of xev while pressing fn+f1

There is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf but I've attached the other four files.

Following the information on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xorg/Input_Triage_Algorithm can I ask you to provide us with the output of evtest against /dev/input/....

I don't see Fn+F1 in this record of xev, so that I would like to see what goes into Xorg that it gives us these results (these are all keyboard events, rest is from mouse):

Thank you in advance

Ok, I'm not certain this is what you want but I've installed evtest and here's what happens when I run evtest:

# evtest
No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event*
Available devices:
/dev/input/event0:	Power Button
/dev/input/event1:	Sleep Button
/dev/input/event10:	HDA Intel Mic at Ext Left Jack

Select the device event number [0-12]: 

Since the problem is keyboard related, I'm guessing "/dev/input/event4" is the correct selection? Here's what that produces:

If this isn't what you need, let me know and I'll take another shot at it.

> If this isn't what you need, let me know and I'll take another shot at it.

That's exactly what we need. Thank you.

Peter, do I understand this correctly that we are getting completely different keycodes here? (Alt+P)?

This bug was filed against Fedora 14 which is now EOL. Please re-open this bug if you still experience this issue with one of the currently suppported versions of Fedora. Don't forget to update the version field if you do so.

I'm running Fedora 16 now and the bug is still present but partially fixed. I still can't switch to the external port by using the normal FN+F1 key combination - that key combo alone has no effect. However, I've discovered through trial-and-error that FN+F1+F1 works. That is:

I hold down the FN key while depressing and releasing the F1 key twice. Each time I complete that entire key stroke cycle, the mode changes once. So FN+F1+F1 switches to external. FN+F1+F1 again switches to the both. Again and it switches back to the LCD only, etc.  

So, the UI is still broken but at least the underlying functionality appears to be working now, so perhaps fixing the keyboard input will be relatively easy.

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
