Getting right alt key back?

Hi
Find whatever keyboard map file you are using, where it is depends on what
distribution you have. Most distros just load the appropriate keymap from
/usr/share/keymaps or /usr/lib/keymaps, but I know debian actually copies
the chosen keymap into /etc somewhere (can't remember exactly where now).
Once you find it, gunzip it if necessary and put the following line in it:
keycode  100 = Alt
Save it, gzip it, and load it with the loadkeys command. There ya go.
