Well, you actually have a choice of what you want Fn+F3 to do which is set up the first time you apply the combination, at least that was the case on my W500 with Vista Business 32-bit.
Most of my other ThinkPads run Linux and Fn+F3 can still be used to dim the LCD, while Fn+F7 swaps the LCD/monitor/both.

Why was it changed and does the FnF3 function differ somehow from the former one?
