Could it be that your xorg.conf was corrupted?  What other files do your F 
keys need to access to operate?  I have found that with sudden crashes (I had 
a box with faulty memory that kept crashing on me) random files would get 
corrupted.  The contents would normally be sound but access rights would get 
muddled up.
