What window manager/desktop environment are you using (eg KDE, Gnome,
enlightenment, IceWM)?  The commands to change workspace will be mentioned
in the documentation for those.

That is one of the virtual terminals, (a.k.a. consoles).  You can leave X
and reach a virtual terminal by typing Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2, etc.
Normally, you can return to X by typing F7, without needing to log in at
all.

I don't think it's anything to do with the hardware.  If Ctrl-Alt-F2 is
doing what you describe, it sounds like your keyboard is working perfectly.
