Re: Since chvt works, the problem must be the keymap

Nope, none of these commands seem to work - all possible
shift/alt/control F1 combinations I tried after running each of these
commands just got me an error beep + a letter or two on the terminal,
or it launched Gnome Help!

I get the same ...

I get ...
xkb_keymap {
         xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"       };
         xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
         xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
         xkb_symbols   { include "pc(pc105)+uk"  };
         xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };
};


I get this ...

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
         Driver          "kbd"
         Option          "CoreKeyboard"
         Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
         Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
         Option          "XkbLayout"     "uk"
EndSection


So AFAICT, not a lot of help there.

I should also mention that once I have switched VT using Shift-F1, I can
switch back using Ctrl-Alt-F7 as expected - which seems to suggest
nothing is wrong with the system keymap.

Dave.
