Thank you for the answer, but:
1) the problem affects only the linux console (without X I mean)
2) using X (xorg) it seems works, in this ways:
A) X + Fluxbox: CTRL+Fn works, ALT+Fn switch virtual desktops; no fullscreen
B) X + Blackbox: all keys work; no fullscreen
C) X alone, without any window manager but with xterm attached: keys
work and fullscreen too.
The problem with the X-solution is that the fonts are ugly (I'm trying
to solve this) and ofcourse I need install the X server with all
libraries etc.
My goal is instead to get working a small linux dosbox that can fit in a
small space (512MB/1GB) and can full run a legacy clipper application,
so for this I should need CTRL+Fn/ALT+Fn combination in native linux
console without X.
In the mailing list archive, I've found someone suggesting in the past
the modification of src/plugin/term/kbd_slang.c file in order to
remapping that combinations but I can't understand how to do it...

My wild guess is that your Window Manager (e.g. KDE) is trapping those keys.
But I may be wrong.

Hi all,
here is a problem I've already seen discussed in the list, but with no
clear answers for me.
This is the context:
- debian 4.0
- dosemu 1.4.0
- an old clipper application for dos, which uses CTRL+Fn and ALT+Fn
combination keys to work
I launch dosemu fron the console, the application works fine except for
that key combination. If I press CTRL^cF1 it works as CTRL+F1, but this
is a problem for me to use that unusual key combination.
My keyboard is set as XLATE (ASCII 8bit) and with the linux command
"showkey" I can see 4byte combination, for example the CONTROL+F1
combination give me this 4 hex bytes: 0x1D 0x3B 0xBB 0x9D
How can I modify kbd_slang.c to match this keycodes??
Otherwise, there is a simple way to remapping CTRL+Fn/ALT+Fn ???
Thank you in advance
Paolo
