Bug#254923: xserver-xfree86: [keyboard] alt key not working when starting from display manager
I have already fixed it setting up correctly kde keyboard preferences
(105keys keyboard) and XFree Config. I think after a lot of testing
some clients were changing keyboard (kde control panel) in my sessions
and I am not sure if some xfree86 upgrade had something to do too, but
now It works for me with no hacking, just configuring X and kde. :-)
Thanks for all,
txemi.

This is a duplicate of many other bugs.
A workaround for the problem is documented in the logs of most or all of
them.
The bug is in xlibs (XKB data), not the XFree86 X server or its keyboard
driver.
We expect the bug to be fixed in the next release.
