Hmm. That it only works on display :0 seems like a bug. A way to work around
it would be with xmodmap. If you run xev, it will show you all of the X
events that it sees, including keypresses. That'll give you which keysyms or
keycodes to switch when using xmodmap.
Put these into a file .Xmodmap:
keycode 116 = Meta_L
keycode 64 = Alt_L
Then run xmodmap .Xmodmap and see if that helps in X. Those keycodes are
correct here, but I already have Alt and Meta properly done on my original
iBook. Use xev to get the keycodes of your keys.
BTW, what kind of keyboard is it? (US, French, etc...)

Yeah, console keyboards and X keyboards are different beasts.
1. Select keymap from arch list
4. qwerty
32. US american
1. Apple USB
Then you'll see that 'mac-usb-us' is installed. Do you have something else?
