Thanks for your help.


Contrary to what most of us in the UK think - 'uk' is not the country 
code, but 'gb' is.

Try using the following:
 OptionXkbLayoutgb


Thanks! You were absolutely right. The funniest thing is I was aware of 
the 'gb' country code, but somehow I forgot about that... The 'uk' code 
was too 'suggestive' :)

I agree with you that it should work like that. Maybe you have to try a
simpler configuration now, and then you can gradually add all the above
options to find out which one breaks the VT switching. As far as I can
tell, they should all be defined, but maybe they are not all compatible
(which could be a bug).


I have to do some tests tomorrow (too tired now). I found that it 
doesn't matter if I'm logged in or not (I use GDM / Gnome) - it's all 
the same. So probably it's something about Xorg. Maybe my keyboard 
settings (it's Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, UK version):


Section InputDevice
IdentifierGeneric Keyboard
Driverkbd
OptionXkbRulesxorg
OptionXkbModelpc105
OptionXkbLayoutuk
EndSection

Or maybe it is a bug.
