Alt Keys -> Meta (under X11)

[joost witteveen]

Does anyone know how to make the Alt keys generate Meta? 
That is I want Alt-F to generate Meta-F (under Emacs, bash, etc).


I've tried setting in my XF86Config:

    LeftAlt     Meta
    RightAlt    Meta

But that didn't work.

I used to work with "XkbDisable" uncommented (in XF86Config), but
I believe that's depreciated in Debian, and anyway causes Backspace/Delete
problems in various programs. So I commented it out again, and hoped
to make the Alt keys generate Meta in some other way.


Thanks,
