CID 201209-11735
For some machines, for example, HP laptop "HP 1000" has a hot key on F4 to perform the shorcut "super + p" to switch video modes.
Use command "sudo showkey -k" to capture the key code of the hot key you will see the key code of "super key" and "p"
This key combination is expected to change the video mode.
platfrom: HP laptop "HP 1000"
image: 12.04.3
Steps to reproduce:
1. open an terminal,
2. plugin an external monitor
3. press the video switch hotkey, for "HP 1000" it is the F4 key
