You probably have different XF86Config files. To get alt as meta, you can put it in your "Keyboard" section. Mine is the following: Section "Keyboard" Protocol "Standard" AutoRepeat 500 4 # was 500 30 LeftAlt Meta RightAlt Meta ScrollLock Compose RightCtl Control XkbKeycodes "xfree86" # XkbKeymap "xfree86(us)" XkbTypes "default" XkbCompat "default" XkbSymbols "us(pc101)" XkbGeometry "pc" XkbRules "xfree86" XkbModel "pc101" XkbLayout "us" # XkbOptions "ctrl:swapcaps" EndSection Hope this helps.
