Public bug reported: having gutsy (ubuntu 7.10) installed on an HP Pavilion ze2070ea laptop: pressing Fn-F4 key combination blocks the system completely.
This combination is supposed to switch to an external display. Having no external display plugged, in Breezy it would blank the screen once and get back to the default display, I believe the same happened in Feisty but cannot really remember trying this. Now on gutsy the screen blanks completely, only the cursor is left as it was - no keyboard or touchpad responds. If I kill gdm and X from a tty it does not happen. I cannot "xev" the combination from a GDM login as the system blocks immidiately...
