Have a look at the /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz file (or what do you
load with loadkeys at boot time). You should have things like:
...
keycode 56 = Alt
...
keycode 65 = F7
shift keycode 65 = F19
control keycode 65 = F31
altgr control keycode 65 = VoidSymbol
alt keycode 65 = Console_7
control alt keycode 65 = Console_7
...
keycode 105 = Left
alt keycode 105 = Decr_Console
keycode 106 = Right
alt keycode 106 = Incr_Console
...
keycode 125 = AltGr
altgr control keycode 125 = VoidSymbol
keycode 126 = AltGr
altgr control keycode 126 = VoidSymbol
keycode 127 = Last_Console
altgr control keycode 127 = VoidSymbol
...
etc.
