Running 4.2-STABLE On a Toshiba 4005CDS I'm an emacs user and would like to use the left alt on my keyboard for emacs `meta' key rather than having to use ESC. It seems pressing the left alt key doesn't send any keysym at all. Not only not to emacs which can be checked with `C-h l' after pressing keys, but not to the terminal either. This may not be the most sophisticated way to check but I checked by typing: `cat <RET>' Then typing ALT-b. All I see is the `b' Where as Ctrl-b shows ^b Is this a hardware thing that cannot be changed or something OS related I can do to make the left alt key work for emacs?
