Emacs and ALT Key in New Debian Installation
I recently installed Debian (Woody 3.0), and I have Emacs 21. I have found that
the ALT key does not work. When I go to use M-X as a prefix, or when I need to
use the ALT key for any command, all I get is a beep, and nothing else happens.
The ALT key works as a META key just fine when working from a real console
(without X). It is only in X that it doesn't work. This is irritating, because
for instance, when scrolling backwards, I have to keep hitting ESC V, instead of
holding down the ALT key and hitting V.
Any ideas on why my ALT key doesn't work? Thanks in advance,
