When you configured X did you agree to use the "new style" XKEYBOARD extension? So did I and this broke the ALT = META thing with emacs. You can edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and in the Keyboard section you can uncomment the line which says 'XkbDisable'. I'm sure there's a way to set up the mapping so that this works, but I don't have time for that learning curve right now and perhaps you don't either. -- Jens B.
