Dell Vostro 3550: Fn+F1 does not *always* work

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
  it is weird that the Fn+F1 key combination should turn on the LCD display of the laptop
or the signal into external D-SUB or HDMI connector. However, it somehow does not work ideally.

1. If I go to virtual console VT2 to VT6, I can disable the LCD using the Fn+F1 fine. The LCD backlight
is still on but that is probably another issue.
2. But, I am in VT1 and press the Fn+F1 key, letter `p' gets printed on the screen. Ooops, actually
first it switches into VT12, and on another attempts starts to write `p' characters.


Anybody experiencing same behavior?
Thanks,
Martin
