Alt key doesn't work

[Teng Zhang]

hi,
the Alt key doesn't work on my machine in most cases except for
changing console(Crtl+Alt+F_number). So, what key i can use to replace Alt.

If it changes console with Alt then it is getting the keypress.
You might try out getting its keycode with xev and mapping it to proper
Alt with xmodmap.
