handle super+p key combination: monitor setup
Last modified: 2010-10-05 16:08:33 UTC
Super+P key combination in windows 7 shows up the monitor setup dialog (laptop only, clone, extend, external only). I'm asking for this because my laptop also has a function key (Fn+F8) which triggers exactly the same combination: keycode 125 press keycode 25 press keycode 25 release keycode 125 release 125 is super, 25 is p. It could be really useful if the "Monitor preferences" app is started with this key combination

From a i8042 filter, can monitor the scancode sequence like this: 0xe0 0x5b //Super_L pressed 0x19 //p pressed 0x99 //p released wait 0.5 seconds //don't know why, might be want to workaround the old Start key 0xe0 0xdb //Super_L released
I have the same problem on a Dell Inspiron n3010 (13r) and the hardware should be similar with 14r or 15r. I just followed the indication from this commend and now the "change monitor" button is doing something useful. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/539477/comments/9 Maybe this can be added as a default value.
We have patches for this on another bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 623223 ***
