Title:
  video switch hot key will return "super key and p" and no response to
  switch video mode

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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

  Expected result:
  1. Video mode is changed by the hotkey
  2. no character is printed on terminal

  Actual result
  1. Video mode is not changed.
  2. a "p" will be printed on the terminal screen

  The other information:
  1. A similar bug was reported on LP:#539477 before.
  2. The hotkey in 13.04 works
