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
