trying to switch between display modes under linux had never been easy. At least with xrandr 1.2 things are much better than before - i can finally change display mode without restarting Xorg. But the "standard" FN-F7 was never a working trigger i can use. Being lazy, i never go looking for solution... until today.

to my surprise, it is in a standardized installation a dummy key combination - in order words, Ubuntu detects it but will do nothing. A user must get his hand dirty in making it work, as mentioned in the Thinkwiki site. It is just a few minutes before i got the key combination doing something to my display. I do not know what is the next plan, but i would think including a working script might do all users good right? with xrandr 1.2 around, it is time to enable the screens change using FN-F7.

now can anyone tell me how to ask people to include this in the next distribution?
