Janina, I have noticed this with the USB version of Vinux, as it effects the right control key. I was told that it is from a UK setup, because apparently the UK style keyboard does not use the right control key. Perhaps this is the same possibility for the alt key.

Hi, Beginning sometime around kernel 3.11.6 or 3.11.7, I ceased being able to use the right alt key as distinct from the laft alt key. I'm wondering whether anyone else can confirm this behavior? I'm especially interested whether anyone NOT using Fedora is seeing this behavior. So, to be clear, what's happened is that the difference between right and left alt has gone away. Since I launch 24 consoles via the twelve function keys plus either right or left alt, this creates a nuisance sufficient to keep me on an old kernel. I expect I should file a bug, but want to figure out first whether this is something peculiar to Fedora, or an issue more generally with the kernel. PS: I've run show keys and confirmed that distinct values are indeed being captured, i.e. keycode 56 and 100 respectively, left and right alt. Any wisdom much appreciated.
