Then it does recognise the Alt key. However, XEmacs doesn't use the
Alt key for any of its default bindings; it's only the Meta key which
is used.
NB: XEmacs will translate Alt to Meta, BUT only if you don't have a
Meta key.
this problem doesn't happen with XEmacs 21.1
i'm using cvs KDE, XFree86 4.0.3 with XKB extension on (russian layout).
PS. LeftAlt is defined to Meta in XF86Config...
That is only one part of a complex mechanism.
What does "xmodmap -pm" say? What does "xev" say when you press the
key? These will tell you how the keyboard is actually configured.
