Not really, other than this isn't an X configuration issue.  I've never 
seen an xorg.conf that had anything related to virtual console switching.

I think the problem is the X server, and how it was compiled.  At any 
rate, if this was an nvidia driver issue, it should go away if you 
temporarily switch to the 'nv' or 'vesa' X driver.
