[Bug 508847] Re: Fn+F4 video switch key not working on HP 6730b

[Chase Douglas]

With Lucid, the kernel is now telling the BIOS that it supports win7
ACPI features. Part of the Win7 feature set is display configuration
changing through win+p instead of the unique key code used by previous
versions of windows. The real problem here is that gnome-settings-
daemon, the process that listens for display configuration events, only
listens for a single key code and not a chord like win+p, and it's not
configurable through a gconf setting.

Quirking the kernel is an unsufficient fix because every new laptop
would need a quirk. We also pulled the ACPI support from upstream, so we
should follow their lead and not behave differently.

** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu)
