Bug Description

Version: disper 0.3.0
Uname: 2.6.38-11-generic

I have tied the Fn-F7 hotkey via an acpi-event to my disper command. The command is this:

disper -v -C --cycle-stages='-s:-S:-e' -d 'CRT-0,DFP-0' -t 'right'

When hitting the F7 key nothing happens. When I redirect the output (stdout & stderr) of the command to a file it says "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'endswith'".

When I tie the same command to a keyboard-shortcut (like Shift-F7) it works fine.

In fact ANY disper command tied to Fn-F7 gives the same error. No extra output or error is generated by the -v switch.

See attached nvidia bug report.
