    Ok, I see it. It is the problem that the XF86_Mach64 handles the keycodes
    wrong in some cases. Seems the XFree86 developer never expects that
    there are keyborads where <META> and <ALT> are different keys.

    I don't know if this is fixed in XFree86 4.0.1, I haven't tested it yet.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
