So per a previous suggestion, I've attached my xorg.conf. I
don't see anything in there that would cause this.

I know for a fact that my F-whatever keys work correctly,
because I use them very frequently in Emacs (and have them
mapped to f# in the input file).
It seems it may be a problem, however, with the
control-alt-F# keystroke getting sent to the current window
(or to the root window, if there is no window at present),
because when I hit C-M-F# (this means the same as writing
out ctrl-alt-F#), Emacs says that "<C-M-f#> is undefined."
Similarly, in an xterm, C-M-F1 prints "P" and C-M-F2 prints
"Q." It's very odd. Is there a way to make sure that X
intercepts these keystrokes, perhaps?
Thanks,
Amy
