From this post:
Can’t Switch Back to X after Ctrl-Alt-F1 in 10.2 w/ nvidia - openSUSE Forums
The problem appears to be the keyboard driver or key mapping when using the Virtual TTY.
So I found this page:
and did this in a TTY:
loadkeys - << EOF
keycode 125 = Decr_Console # Left ~# key
keycode 126 = Incr_Console # Right ~# key
EOF
And voila! I can go from console to console, although I have to scroll thru them.
Cheers.
It also seems that a
loadkeys -d
also fixes everything.
Cheers.

Does your Microsoft keyboard have a ‘toggle’ for the Fn keys? Something
that allows you to use them for audio, multimedia controls, but you
press ‘Fn’ + ‘F1’ to get F1, otherwise it lowers the volume or raises your
garage door or something?
The tty’s each have a saved state (numlock, capslock, scrolllock, etc) which
is restored when you change to each tty. It’s entirely possible that
the ‘state’ which is restored upon changing to tty1 (C-A-F1) has the Fn
keys ‘toggled off’ or into multimedia mode. Logitech keyboards annoy me
with that ‘feature’… probably explains why I have a ‘Das Keyboard’… no
funny toggles.
Just a thought.

So driver and hardware are out of sync with the Function keys toggle…
Could be. I’ll have to do some tests.
txs for the tip.
