This sounds like the same problem that I reported on in:

      http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/08/msg00644.html

If it is the same problem, this is what fixed it for me:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Most serious problem: 

   (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

   The most visible symptom here was that I could no longer use
   Ctl-Alt-Fn to get back to the n-th virtual console from a running X
   session. The solution in this case was to make a link from:

     /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 to  /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg

   and also from:

     /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst to  /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.1st.
