I found many problems on F10 when using xmodmap. I'm not sure if xmodmap is
to blame or changed keycodes. If I run xkeycaps and press keys I see for
some keys the "wrong" keys highlighted. The "right-Alt" is one of the
problem keys. However with xkeycaps you can find out the "new" keycode and
addapt the .xmodmap file or xmodmap command to it.
Saving a .xmodmap file from xkeycaps will give problems.
