keyboard and irssi and X

[James Bunnell <jbunnell_(_at_)_niu_(_dot_)_edu>]

Hello, I am very new to OBSD. I installed it yesterday with some help 
from some friends in IRC. I have installed BitchX and Irssi, as well as 
Fluxbox and Firefox.

First problem is in BX and Irssi, when one uses the  alt-1,2,3 keys to 
change windows as you can in linux, it does not do it, instead it just 
pastes a little number or the number itself, so in effect, I get the 
impression that the setup on the keyboard is wrong.

Second problem, when i Xorg at the prompt to start X, I just get a grey 
screen with a wild mouse pointer, I have checked my xorg.conf over and over.

I am using a Dell Dimension L933r, P3, an Intel i810 chipset for 
graphics, 384 mb ram, and a 10 g hdd. Also, I am using OpenBSD 3.7.

Any ideas here?

Thanks.

Jim.
