I have trouble switching to a VT from X

I only have VT 6 defined in inittab, however once in X, ctrl + alt + F6 does not work. I see no errors of any sort, and my keymapping is correct.

How would I determine the source of, and solve this problem?

Does CTRL+ALT+1 to 5 work?

Should be ctrl+alt+F1 to ...+F5. They should at least take you to a blank screen, if no corresponding terminals are setup in /etc/inittab. If none of this is working, then something in your desktop/window manager/X is intercepting or redefining the keymappings. – dubiousjim May 16 '10 at 22:57
