If your keyboard has two independent alt keys, you can try
Option "XkbOptions" "ralt:mode_switch"
in the keyboard section, or the attached patch for
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh/us.

That's a kernel feature, it has nothing to do with gpm. It's been
discussed extensively on this very list.

The fbdev driver doesn't know that option, its whole point is to use a
framebuffer device.

This is probably a bug related to framebuffer offset and/or line length.
Someone with unusual hardware (like you :) will have to debug that code.
Maybe 4.2.0 works better though, you could try Branden's pre-packages.
