Public bug reported:
The Fn+F8 key combination on my Dell E5500 does not work in Lucid (this
key combination should be able to switch video modes). Debugging with
"xev", it seems that the key combination is mapped to the letter "p" at
the X layer. Debugging further down the stack shows that the scancode
from Fn+F8 also matches that of the "p" key.
This combination worked properly in Karmic.
Using "showkey -k", the keycodes are as follows:
[p] = 25
[Fn]+[F8] = 25 (although I also see keycode 125 as I press F8, and I see 125
release as I let go of the Fn key)
Using "showkey -s", the scancodes are as follows:
[p] = 0x19 0x99
[Fn]+[F8] = 0x19 0x99 (although I also see "0xE0 0x5B" as I press F8, and I see
"0xE0 0xDB" as I release Fn)
