That'll get resize when you start X.

No, you won't get any graphical output at all. xterm is only able to
display text, not graphism!!

By running -vga std, and then try to run Xorg, see whether it just
already uses a good resolution, else configure it, etc.

Yes, the curses frontend can not properly deal with such keys.

That's because grub uses a graphical mode by default.

As said above.

Again, all an xterm will ever by able to display is just text, nothing
more. So don't use the -curses option if you want to start Xorg in the
Hurd Guest.
> I should be able to startx without an xorg.conf file?
Sure, that's how Xorg works nowadays.
