I am reasonably certain that this will work if you recompile with the
--with-xim configure argument. It should also be working with --without-xim,
the x-compose.el code should be taking over; could you post the output of

  xmodmap -pke 

and

  xmodmap -pm 

somewhere accessible to us, or compress them and send them to the list as
attachments?

My AltGr has the mod1 modifier, and I have no problem producing dead keys
using it.
