Oh, sorry, that was a typo. I meant to type Ctrl+Alt+Fn, of course.

None of them do it ...

What I have is:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "Off"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "DontZap" "off"
EndSection

Neither switching to consoles is possible, nor terminating the X
server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
