To get >the standard left ALT behaviour I have to use the "windows" key. In what environment do you have the problem? If you have the problem in the X session, it must be the X server's key mapping which is somewhat wrong. The keyboard driver just passes raw scan codes to the X server and there can be little chance for the keyboard driver to screw the scan codes for the left ALT and W*ndows keys, while the X server is running. If you have the problem in the text console, tell me which keymap file in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps you are using, or dump the keymap by running: kbdcontrol -d in the text console and send it to me for diagnosis. On more thing. You mention the "standard left ALT behavior". What do you exactly mean by that?
