I have been using OpenSolaris 2008.11 for a few months now,
and I suddenly discovered that the display switching (mode)
key Fn+F5 doesn't work. It is supposed to allow you to use
an external display (e.g. a projector) in addition to, or in
place of, the laptop's screen. The rest of the Fn+Fx keys
work fine, like the Fn+F9 mousepad/external mouse switch.
I also found that if the laptop boots up with the external
display connected, it will use that, but still the Fn+F5
combination doesn't work, so the laptop's screen is inactive.
Is this a known problem, and is there any workaround?
