Are you using X? If so, is it 4.x? If so, edit your XF86Config file. Find
the "InputDevice" section for your keyboard. Add this line to bind `meta'
and `alt' to the alt keys:
Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:meta_alt"
I'm using a Happy Hacking keyboard, and I used the line:
Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:meta_win"
to bind `meta' to my left and right diamond keys (the ones that would act
like "Windows" keys were I running a different OS. I get both `alt' and
`meta' separately this way.
