Bug Description
The Fn+F8 key combination on my Dell E5500 does not work in Lucid (this key combination should be able to switch video modes). Debugging with "xev", it seems that the key combination is mapped to the letter "p" at the X layer. Debugging further down the stack shows that the scancode from Fn+F8 also matches that of the "p" key.
This combination worked properly in Karmic.
Using "showkey -k", the keycodes are as follows:
[p] = 25
[Fn]+[F8] = 25 (although I also see keycode 125 as I press F8, and I see 125 release as I let go of the Fn key)
Using "showkey -s", the scancodes are as follows:
[p] = 0x19 0x99
[Fn]+[F8] = 0x19 0x99 (although I also see "0xE0 0x5B" as I press F8, and I see "0xE0 0xDB" as I release Fn)

Similar hardware (Latitude E6400), same problem.
The correct keycode is 227 (of course without 25)
This needs an upstream bug I think
