Question about keyboard configuration

[Jeff McCright]

The alt keys use different Scan Codes... ie. they are treated in Linux as different keys. Windows 
treats them as if they are the same. You will need to remap the right key to reflect the left key 
scan code. This should allow you to use the RIGHT-ALT and Arrow combinations as if you were using 
the LEFT-ALT.

The HOW-TO's should be able to help you remap your keys.

Thanks,

Subject: kclug - Question about keyboard configuration

This may be a lame question, but I am not sure where to even look it up in the
docs.

I have noticed that only one  of my ALT keys is actually working.  This is not
a big deal, but I prefer keyboard shortcuts when surfing and the shortcut for
the back button in the browser id 'ALT-left arrow'.

Unfortunately (for me) it is the right ALT key that doesn't work, forcing me
to use both hands to activate the back function.  Can anyone shed some light
on this?  I am sure it is something I messed up in the RH 6.2 install, but I
am not sure how to fix it at this point.

The keyboard is one of those newer ones with the extra 'doze function keys.
