Oh, also the arrow keys put in 2, 4, 6, and 8 instead of being arrow

Amazingly enough, it launched an xterm when I logged in. Now the only
problem is that the key mappings are wrong. Everything works fine
except for the spacebar and capslock keys. The capslock key is dead,
and the spacebar acts as two spaces and the capslock key. Also, I have
