alt key?



hi,
I've just installed debian (potato) on my dell laptop
an ispiron 8100. it works fine, execpt the alt keys are short cutted for an other use.
i have a french canadian keyboard, and i need the alt key to get "@£¢¤¬¦²¶[}".... caracters.
 
in a term, when i press alt+2 to get @, it gives me the line : "(arg 2)"
and in an editor i don't get the @ but 2 or nothing.
under Xfree (ver 4.1.0) I use ca_enhanced. it works execpte for the same problem with the alt key. using xkeycaps, i see the keys are all fine.
How do I do to fix the problem?
thanks for your help
Philippe
