In the latest gpm releases, there's an emacs variable (I don't recall the exact name, sorry; I read the debian list at work where I don't have the gpm sources ready) that swaps the right and left Alts as far as Emacs is concerned. Look for it in t-mouse.el and set it in your .emacs.

GNU Emacs does the latter; I had the vague feeling that (recent) XEmacs does the former. But Emacs (or mev) doesn't need any mouse configuration in either case, only the gpm daemon does. -- Ian Zimmerman Lightbinders, Inc. 2325 3rd Street #324, San Francisco, California 94107
