Subject: Emacs Alt != Esc in 6.2 From: Johnie Stafford <jms@pobox.com> Date: 30 Jul 2000 16:00:31 -0500 OK, I finally upgraded to 6.2, which means there must be a new version about to come out :) I'm running into a problem in emacs (20.7), on my old 6.0 system you could use the 'Alt-<key>' pair just like you would use the 'Esc <key>' pair. That doesn't seem to be working with this version. Anybody have a clue what I need to change to make that work?

In some versions of XFree86, I've had to manually specify the default keyboard settings / options. You can get them from the man page for XF86Config. I don't have them handy and longer, as I'm using XFree86 4.0.1 :) MSG ===
