Title:
  [Dell Latitude E6400] Switch display Fn+F8 not working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
