Not able to switch to virtual terminals

I installed gnome 2.20 from teting repos some time back, It also upgraded Xorg from testing.
Which broke X on my system, so I removed everything and installed everything(xorg + gnome + kde)  from extra again. But after that I am not able to switch to another virtual consoles i.e ctrl+alt+F1..F8 sequence is not switching terminals.

pressing ctrl + alt + F1 is sending ";7P"

[root@L3-LR893 ~]# ;7P;7P;7P;7P;7P

and ctrl + alt + F2 is generating ";7Q"

Now I have upgraded to gnome 2.20, but the problem exist.

Has anybdy faced this problem before ?

Thanks
Sri

Re: Not able to switch to virtual terminals

I'm having the exact same problem, and I have no idea how to fix it.  If anyone has any ideas, please post them.

EDIT: Except I have not had to reinstall X, it just stopped working one day (I guess it was something that pacman automatically upgraded).
