Make the Alt key work in OpenOffice103 and X11Beta3
Authored by: vieuxnez on Dec 28, '04 06:57:59PM

I tried your X11 option/alt key fix, and it didn't work for me. After further review, I realized, that it's probably due to a keyboard map difference, since you have a file that indicates two alt keys, one for the left, and one for the right, as I'm sure you know, and I'm working with a Powerbook G4 17" that only has a option/alt key on the left, that probably has a different keycode to type in than 66. Am I right about this? Do you know how I would find out the code? I'm trying to figure out how to use
/usr/X11R6/bin/dumpkeymap, but to be honest, I'm not having much luck deciphering the docs, and could use a few tips if they are to be had. Thanks for your time,

Dustin
