RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Issue Tracker 2010-06-24 18:18:03 UTC 
Event posted on 06-22-2010 05:48pm EDT by Rezwanul_Kabir

Description of problem:

 Due to Win7 requirement of using Win+P key to switch display, all recent Dell platform BIOSen are generating the same scancodes for Fn+F8 as with Win+P. The problem is they are not mapped to the right keycode used in linux for display switching ( i.e. KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE).

  The scancodes for Fn+F8 and Win+P are as below:

     0xe0 0x5b 0x19    0x99 0xe0 0xdb
     [Key Press   ]    [ Key release]

   The Keycodes for Fn+F8 press and release are:

     125 press 25 press 25 release 125 release 
  
How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install RHEL6 Snapshot6
2. Use "showkey -s" or "showkey -k" to verify


Actual results:

1. KEY_LEFTMETA + KEY_P are produced

Expected results:

KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE is produced

Comment 7 Peter Hutterer 2010-06-30 01:32:11 UTC 
Marking as duplicate of 595763.

This bug needs to be addressed in the session, not in the X driver. We don't have any knowledge in the X driver of whether a device requires a quirk or not.
