Bug Description
The Dell E6400 has a hardware button Fn+F8 that, on windows, switches between the internal and the externally connected HP f2105 monitor.
What did i expect to happen is when pressing the button, like windows the display would switch to the external monitor. What happened instead is that when pressing this button in ubuntu nothing happens.
