Switching the VT is is impossible for some valid xorg-configurations on openSuSe 11.1 (fresh installation).
All Ctrl+Alt combinations are broken on my machine for following configuration: Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
It works fine for me using a different switch option: Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
It seems as if many multiple language users are effected by this bug.
This is the SaX auto-configuration triggering the fault:
Section "InputDevice" Driver "kbd" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "de,ru" Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbVariant" "basic,basic" EndSection
