I think it's configurable in the XF86Config file. In mine there are this
lines:
# To set the LeftAlt to Meta, RightAlt key to ModeShift, 
# RightCtl key to Compose, and ScrollLock key to ModeLock:

    LeftAlt     Meta
    RightAlt    ModeShift
#    RightCtl    Compose
#    ScrollLock  ModeLock
By default, all lines were commented out. Uncomment the first one (the second
is for german keyboards, I think) and try out, if it works.

Hope it helps                    Joachim
