I don't have chvt anywhere on my system (locate says no), nor can I find
it with apt-cache search or the Debian web-based package search.

Can someone who has it do a dpkg -S chvt and tell me where it comes
from?

Oh, wait, my Linux box at work has it--it's in console-tools?  Why isn't
that installed on my home system?

OK, I installed it, and using "chvt 1" does switch me to the
console... but C-A-F1 still doesn't work.

xev.

It doesn't show anything: it just gives me 3 keypress events, one for
CTRL, one for ALT, and one for F1 (the appropriate keyrelease events).
Nothing else.

I also can't find anything of interest in any of my log files.

Damn weird!
