Description:
Fn+F8 sends wrong keycode on my laptop.

with Kernel 2.6.31 I get the following output with xev:
keycode 235 (keysym 0x1008ff59, XF86Display)
on Kernel 2.6.32 the output is
keycode 33 (keysym 0x70, p)

acpi_listen puts out the following when pressing Fn+F8 on Kernel 2.6.31
video GFX0 00000080 00000000
on 2.6.32 nothing happens, no acpi event is triggered

I don't know if this is a upstream bug or related to Arch's default kernel config

nothing changed with kernel package 2.6.32.3-1.

anyone knows if this is a upstream bug or related to arch's default config?
If it's upstream maybe I can ask on some Linux Kernel Mailing List ;)
