Thanks Bastien,

OK, it's a bug {rather than an RFE} on F9-2008-03-27 live x86_64 then 
since the key combo doesn't work on at least my specific hardware. I'll 
search/file bug tomorrow.
Any hints on what component ? xorg-x11-?

How about activation of of the Svideo/composite output {that isn't 
working from the gui tools} - should it be working - and hence need to 
bug it ?
