Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

When running the noveau driver on an HP Pavillion dv3510nr Notebook
(running Lucid Lynx beta 1 x64), it is not possible to switch display
modes using the laptop's FN+F4 key.   This notebook has an NVIDIA 9300M
graphics card.

 If booted with an external display, the notebook defaults to "Extend"
mode in which the desktop is spread across both the LCD and the external
monitor, with apparently no way to switch between them.  If not booted
with an external monitor, it cannot be activated.

Display switching also does not work using the restricted NVIDIA
drivers.  In this case, it is possible to controlwhich displays are
active and in what mode (extend, duplicate, or single) using the NVIDIA
X-server settings application, but any change requires restarting the X
server.

Display switching using FN+F4 worked as expected in Karmic and Jaunty
