well, i've never had to use <shift> for this. ctrl+alt+<Function key>
works fine for me, whether in or out of X.

i once faced a problem similar to what murali describes, and it was
caused by a very old monitor which could not handle X properly. murali,
could you change your monitor temporarily and see whether that works? of
course, if you change to a different monitor model, you'll have to
modify your XF86Config.
