If the issue is non-recurrent, I'd suggest it was likely due to a since 
crushed biscuit-crumb.

If the issue does recur, and the keyboard is known to be fine, I believe 
the kernel itself handles detecting and switching via virtual terminals 
(a character device under device drivers) for c-a-f1 thru c-a-f6; c-a-f7 
to c-a-f12 on my machine are handled by /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers.

HTH,
