switching between virtual terminals : difficult

[Mayuresh Kathe <mayuresh%kathe.in@localhost>]

hello,

is there any reason why the right hand side ctrl and alt keys
on the keyboard don't work while attempting to switch virtual
terminals, eg. ctrl + alt + fnx?

i am now running 6.1.4 on an amd64.
should i be sending in the dmesg too?

thanks,
