I have ~/.Xmodmap containing: keycode 0x40 = Alt_L keycode 0x71 = Alt_L However this doesn't seem to be a complete solution. It works for enabling either Alt key to be used in Ctrl-Alt-F<n> combinations to switch VCs. But Alt-F to access the File menu, for example, has to be left Alt (in eg. mozilla and kword), and Alt-left-mouse-button to drag a window (in blackbox) also has to be left Alt. It seems the most complete solution is to dismantle the keyboard and rewire the right Alt key in parallel with the left Alt. With an IBM Model M, which is held together internally with sort of plastic spikes with the ends melted over, this is, er, easier said than done. Which is a pain. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
