The way emacs sets up the meta key is somewhat a mystery to me.
Here is the output on my machine from `xmodmap':
xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lockCaps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25),
I solved this recently for KDE 2. My solution was
1) Use the xev command in an xterm to find out what keycode the Alt
key is. (mine is 64)
2) Put the equivalent line in .xmod (or .xmodmap)
keycode 64 = Meta_L
3) execute xmodmap .xmod
4) start emacs and try.

Scott,
I've had a problem like this before, and
I just asked this question last week. What you probably need are the
following lines in the keyboard section of your /etc/XF86Config file:
Section Keyboard
LeftAlt Meta
RightAltMeta
Cheers

For some reason, I think meta (alt) was changed from the alt key to the
windows key (presuming
Thanks Damon,
I don't have a windows keyboard, but this may help me in my hunt for
the offending config file. There's something about windows keys in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xmodmap.std. Maybe fiddling with that will help.
