Use xmodmap to see what happends where Meta_L is bound. In my keyboard
with a clean XFree86 installation and US-English keyboard map, it was:
% xmodmap -pke | grep Meta
keycode 115 = Meta_L
keycode 116 = Meta_R
% xmodmap -pke | grep Alt
keycode 64 = Alt_L
keycode 113 = Alt_R
So, to bind the left ALT key of my keyboard to Meta, I did:
% cat >> ~/.Xmodmap
keycode 64 = Meta_L
^D
% xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
The next time I started Emacs, the left ALT key did work as a meta key.
Putting the changes to the default xmodmap in ~/.Xmodmap ensures that
they'll be there the next time you start X11 too.
