Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

I have a System76 laptop - Option to toggle display does not work - For example I can not switch display for HDMI. It worked fine on Ubuntu 10.10 but does not in kubuntu 10.10 or 11.04 (kde 4.6.2)
I tried to manually assign keys in Global Keyboard shortcuts, but does not work either.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Press Fn+F7 key. nothing happens

Actual Results:  
Does not switch display to TV.

Expected Results:  
Display should be switched to external display like TV

Computer configuration - System 76 pangolin 6 - nvidia 105M video card. 
Toggle display does not work with or without nvidia proprietory drivers.

Thank you for your bug report or feature request.

Unfortunately, we did not have a maintainer for the "krandr" components, which are used to manage displays and monitors in the KDE Workspaces.

The "krandr" components has been superseded by "KScreen" in newer releases of the KDE Workspaces. It is compatible with all versions since 4.11, and is also used with Plasma 5. Please check with your distribution how to update to KScreen.

If this issue or feature request is still applicable to KScreen version 1.0.5 or newer, please add a comment. We will then reassign this ticket to KScreen developers.

If you are already using KScreen to manage displays or monitors, and found a different bug or need a specific feature, please create a new ticket for "KScreen" product in this bugzilla using this link: https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=KScreen
