What if you now as a user in X type:

xmodmap -pke | grep F1

What do you get? Do you get:
keycode 67 = F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1
or do you get something like
keycode 67 = F1

If you get the later your new .Xmodmap has not given any effect. If so,
you will have to search the X startup scripts for which files are read by
xmodmap. In Slackware 9.1 the file is read from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
when doing "startx" and it is read from /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession when using
xdm, kdm or gdm.

If your output from xmodmap -pke looks OK I only have one more suggestion:
Check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for some rows like this:

-8<---------------------------------------------------
# Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><Fn> VT switch sequence
# (where n is 1 through 12). This allows clients to receive these key
# events.

# Option "DontVTSwitch"
-8<---------------------------------------------------

If the last row is uncommented you will get the problem that you describe.
