David,

So  I think the hotkey setting might be independent of the more important
issue -- does the /proc/acpi/ibm/video interface work for you?  Because the
hotkey stuff just handles Fn-F7.  Does 

    echo video_switch > /proc/acpi/ibm video

do the toggling for you?

I'm thinking that the Fn-F7 promises of the latest fglrx driver only hold
true on systems that had /proc/acpi/ibm/video working in the first place. 
But I'm not sure.  Maybe someone else can support or refute this claim.
