  This is more of a random idea then a real answer, but try adding the command
"VTSysReq" to the "Keyboard" section of your XF86Config file.  It causes XFree
to use the key sequence [ALT]+[SysReq],[Fn] instead of the more familiar
[CTRL]+[ALT]+[Fn] sequence.  Perhaps that will undo whatever confusion the
XFree keyboard driver is causing.
