My mod4/5 looks different:
mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x71), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
For the rest I see the same, so I guess it is OK.

The switching will only work if you get something like this:
$ xmodmap -pk | grep '(F[0-9]\+)'
67 0xffbe (F1) 0x1008fe01 (XF86_Switch_VT_1)
68 0xffbf (F2) 0x1008fe02 (XF86_Switch_VT_2)
69 0xffc0 (F3) 0x1008fe03 (XF86_Switch_VT_3)
70 0xffc1 (F4) 0x1008fe04 (XF86_Switch_VT_4)
71 0xffc2 (F5) 0x1008fe05 (XF86_Switch_VT_5)
72 0xffc3 (F6) 0x1008fe06 (XF86_Switch_VT_6)
73 0xffc4 (F7) 0x1008fe07 (XF86_Switch_VT_7)
74 0xffc5 (F8) 0x1008fe08 (XF86_Switch_VT_8)
75 0xffc6 (F9) 0x1008fe09 (XF86_Switch_VT_9)
76 0xffc7 (F10) 0x1008fe0a (XF86_Switch_VT_10)
95 0xffc8 (F11) 0x1008fe0b (XF86_Switch_VT_11)
96 0xffc9 (F12) 0x1008fe0c (XF86_Switch_VT_12)
Try to change your xorg.conf to:
Option "XkbVariant" ""
and restart X. (You can also comment out that line completely.)
You can also try to run
xmodmap -e "keycode 67 = F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1"
while X is running and check if this restores CTRL-ALT-F1 switching to
tty1.
