Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Hi guys!

I have a MSI GT640 Laptop infront of me, unfortunately it won't let me switch screens with Fn + F2 which would be the default.
I can see no reason why this is not working, I hope you can help me?

Please see the atachments for info on hardware, etc.
