It would be interesting to see which keycodes and keysyms are reported
if you run "xev", press (and hold) both CTRL and ALT, and then press F1,
F2, etc. Does xev really display the keycodes for the Fn keys and the
keysyms "XF86_Switch_VT_n"? Are the hexadecimal keysym values the same
as the ones that you get with "grep VT /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB"?
