These keys should be the mod1 modifiers. The modifiers are given by
"xmodmap -pme". You can set them with:
keycode xxx = Alt_L
keycode yyy = Alt_R
clear mod1
add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R
where xxx and yyy are the keycodes of the keys (given by xev).
Note that with some configuration of xterm, you must have Meta_L
instead of Alt_L.
