Description of problem: I cannot use my laptop's display toggle button to to switch between internal and external display. The machine is Dell Inspiron 17R 7720. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.6.10-2.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just press Fn+F1 Actual results: Nothing happens. At least to display. In text editors "p" is printed. Expected results: Cycle through several display modes (external display, internal display, both, etc.) Additional info: xev shows indeed, that the button act as letter "p". Other Fn buttons (brightness, media player, wireless switch, etc.) work as expected The laptop came with Ubuntu preinstalled and the button worked well on that distribution.

Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
