When I hold down either Alt key, it has no effect on the keystroke, e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F is the same as pressing Ctrl-F, Alt-Tab doesn't work, I can't use many Compiz commands, etc. However, I used some console command a while back (think it was "xev") and found that my Alt keys are recognized as ISO_Level3_Shift, and when trying to set a shortcut in the Compiz settings manager or in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog my left Alt key is recognized as Mod5. Keyboard shortcuts using Mod5 work, but I'm looking for a cleaner solution than manually changing all my keyboard shortcuts. Does anyone know how I could map the Mod5 event to my Alt keys?
EDIT: Now, in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, a keystroke like Alt+X is recognized as Alt+Mod5+X :S
