[Discuss] VT Acces VIA Ctrl+Alt+Fn

I have a laptop running F31-Mate that does not allow VT 
access during logged in session. I can use [ctrl+alt+f2] at 
the greeter before login.

/setxkbmap -print/

/kb_keymap {//
//    xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"    };//
//    xkb_types     { include "complete"    };//
//    xkb_compat    { include "complete"    };//
//    xkb_symbols   { include 
"pc+us+inet(evdev)+srvr_ctrl(no_srvr_keys)"    };//
//    xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"    };//
//};//
/

The option that is being mysteriously set is /srvr_ctrl:none 
/and I can change this in session by setting an empty option 
with the same command but it does not persist on reboot.

Lightdm is the WM.

The companion command that seems to set things permanently 
for systemd is localectl set-x11-keymap. When I ssh into 
this same machine and issue:

/setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
     xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"    };
     xkb_types     { include "complete"    };
     xkb_compat    { include "complete"    };
     xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)"    };
     xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"    };
};
/

the /srvr_ctrl/ option is absent. So this is being set for 
the logged in user.

Any help is appreciated.
