Thinkpad Z60M, openSuse 11.1, ATI 9.1, kernel 2.6.27.7-9 , gnome desktop. After upgrade from 11.0, the Fn-F7 key sequence to switch the video to output through the external display port no longer works (I use this to output to a projector for meetings). I have tried going back to the stock Radeon driver, and the Fn-F7 function sporadically works, but with the resolution seems locked at 1024x768. I have selected an IBM Thinkpad xx/Z60M/xx keyboard in the gnome control center -> Keyboard; but still not working. I switched out my hdd to the other driver with intact 11.0 and the Fn-F7 works fine. On the 11.1 I did try to configure the displays using the Configure Display settings on the desktop, but it shows my main display as ‘Unknown’ and does not allow the external prot to turn on. I have been through numerous sites that have various methods to fix, but none have worked as yet.
Additional information: I got the 9.2 driver from ATI, the RPM built via the installer with no errors, but when I installed the RPM I got warnings as shown here:
rpm -Uvh fglrx_7_4_0_SUSE111-8.582-1.i386.rpm

glxgears works, and glxinfo show the ATI driver installed. No other apparent problems other than the lack of functionality of Fn-F7 and the laptop’s display showing as ‘Unknown’ in the Display configuration.
Anyone? This is still a pretty big issue I would say…

What’s about keytouch software?
Here is a little how-to about configuring:
News from Planet OS-88: Laptop extra keys - HOWTO.
You’ll find the package in the Packman repository!
Hope that helps.
