Run `xev' and press the Alt keys to find what keycode they generate:
For example, I get:
keycode 113 (keysym 0xffea, Alt_R)
keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L)
Then write a ~/.Xmodmap file (which `xmopmap' should run). Mine looks
like:
clear Mod1
clear Mod2
clear Mod3
keycode 64 = Alt_L
keycode 113 = Alt_R
keycode 115 = Meta_L
keycode 116 = Meta_R
keycode 117 = Menu
add Mod2 = Alt_L
add Mod2 = Alt_R
add Mod1 = Meta_L
add Mod1 = Meta_R
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Hyper_L
add Mod3 = Hyper_L
keycode 22 = BackSpace
