I did a kernel upgrade (to 2.6.14), upgraded to udev, and also upgraded 
my NVidia driver, so I'm really not sure who the cuplrit is, although I 
am able to do vt switching when X is not running (similar to some posts 
I saw regarding this bug).
    

In your logs (/var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/*dm.log), do you have
q line like
  (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
?
  

In /var/log/Xorg.log, the only EE lines I get are:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      you continue to encounter problems, Please try
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.

but when I look at the NVidia utility it appears to be running, and OpenGL apps run quickly, so it appears to work. I do not have the nvidia-glx Debian package installed, as this appeared to cause problems with the driver.

My keyboard related lines read as:

(**) Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
(**) XKB: rules: "xfree86"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
(**) XKB: model: "pc104"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "us"
(**) XKB: layout: "us"
(==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled

Run
  setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -option
from a terminal.  If this fixes your keyboard, this means that X
configuration is fine, but another program (GNOME/KDE/...) breaks
it.  Otherwise, your xlibs package is not fully installed.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "fixes my keyboard", as it works fine (?). Do you mean fixes the vt switching problem?
