What kind of graphics device does your laptop have? Please provide complete
information about your hardware and attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log, assuming this
problem still exists

Alex, do you still have this problem? If yes, please provide the information Matt asked in a previous comment of this bug report. Thanks.

I have almost the same problem on my thinkpad x60. I reported already as bug https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/42898

Where can I attach the file(/varlogXorg.0.log)??Just posting it here??

[Daniel Robitaille (robitaille)]

To post a log file lik Xorg.O.log, just click on "Add attachment" link on the left hand side of the web page of this bug report.

Please find my xorg.0.log file attached. When connecting an external monitor and pushing fn+f7(thinkpad x60) nothing happens.

Two questions for you:

On this laptop is the button a hardware button or a software button. That is does it produce a keycode. You can see if it produces a keycode by trying to set the button to a task in gnome in the keyboard settings.

Second question: Is there any way you could test this in Edgy so we could see if the upgraded Xorg and kernel have somehow fixed this.
