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
