Dell latitude keyboard hotkey Fn+F8 -> Super+P

Hello guys
on my Dell latitude, the hotkey for Fn+F8 should be the trigger for switching screens.
But it is transformed into the combination Super+P (which is the default hotkey for windows...)

I've found an old discussion about it in launchpad bugtracker :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/539477

I tried to add the kernel parameter  acpi_osi="!Windows 2009" but it didn't do anything...

Do you have any other ideas ?

Re: Dell latitude keyboard hotkey Fn+F8 -> Super+P

I presume that Fn+F8 jsut generate a "standard keyboard key". It does not trigger anything by itself. To be sure, try xev and/or showkeys (the latter should be run in the linux console not X) and see what you get. If it is the case, you have to configure your desktop environment to behave accordingly. That depends on desktop environment you use. You can also possibly launch a custom script that does what you want.

It should just generate a "standard keyboard key" but it doesn't on my computer (dell e6530), instead, it generates this :
keycode 125 press
keycode  25 press
keycode  25 release
keycode 125 release
Which is Super + P
And it has nothing to do with my desktop environment that I use (awesome)
