Yes, it sounds like something is wrong. Do keyboard equivalents of
menu items never work? Are you running under X windows? If you're
using X, that may be the problem; here's the relevant section from my
XF86Config:
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
AutoRepeat 500 5
ServerNumLock
LEFTALT meta
RIGHTALT modeshift
SCROLLLOCK modelock
RIGHTCTL compose
EndSection
