Hi Klaus,
No, the use of the xmodule=fbdev cheat code does not help.
If I press the Ctrl+Alt+F1 when in a lxterminal window,
the characters: ";7P" get displayed, ";7Q" for Ctrl+Alt+F2, ...
Interestingly "sudo setxkbmap us" fixes it.
So since I used this fix in the init boot script to get the us keyboard working
on your German beta it may have been broken already on the beta.
Hope this helps,
Gilles

Frankly, I don't know yet. I may have updated some xorg-related
packages. But VT switching still works for me on intel chipsets, so this
rather makes the nv xorg video module a suspect.
If booting in framebuffer mode (xmodule=fbdev), does this change
anything?

See below.

Yes, Debian uses /etc/default/console-setup for defining the keyboard
layout for any keyboard detected by udev/HAL. This was the fix for the
wrong keyboard layout in the almost-released version from 15th and 17th
november (that made it to some mirrors anyways).
But I don't think it is related to the VT switch issue.
