In X Ctrl+Alt+F1 not work on one of my USB keyboard...

Hi!
I have two USB keyboard, one of them works well. I removed the good one and plug the others, Ctrl+Alt+F1 have no effect. And the 'bad' kbd works well under Windows and Linux's tty.

Then I run:

xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p'

and press Ctrl+Alt+F1.
I only got:

67 XF86Switch_VT_1
64 Alt_L
37 Control_L

I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 with the 'bad' kbd and execute "chvt 1", I got the log by Xorg print on tty:

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning:          Compat map for group 2 redefined
>                   Using new definition
> Warning:          Compat map for group 3 redefined
>                   Using new definition
> Warning:          Compat map for group 4 redefined
>                   Using new definition
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

What's wrong with my keyboard...

What kind of keyboards are they?  Does the one that isn't working have a 'Function Lock' key?  On my keyboard (some Microsoft Ergonomic one, I'm not home to look), CTRL-ALT-F# only works when 'Function Lock' is enabled.
