Public bug reported: On my HP Pavilion dm1 with 12.04 up to date, I can not use the display switcher hotkey (on F4 key) to use an external monitor or a projector.
Even when I plus a VGA cable, nothing happens. I have to go into the "displays" settings in order to manually turn on the second dispay and disable the first one. When I press the hotkey, the launcher reveals momentarily with the numbers over the icon, as holding the super key would do. However, this happens when I press the key once. Other hotkeys like volume or brightness work completely fine. If I do an acpi_listen, I just get the single letter "p" in the terminal when I press the hotkey.
