Hello,
I have recently upgraded my Linux box from SuSE 8.2 to 9.2. Since then, when I
press the "Alt Gr" key on my (German) keyboard, there is an anoying beep.
Otherwise, the key works fine. Can anybody help?
Best wishes, Tilo Arens

. You can disable all beep with:
(setq ring-bell-function '(lambda ()))
. You can set your AltGR key to be an Alt key if you don't use it:
$ cat .xmodmaprc
keycode 113 = Alt_L
$ grep xmodmap .xsession
xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
Anyway, there must be a problem somewhere... Can you show us the
content of your *Messages* buffer after a `beep' ?

Hello,
I have recently upgraded my Linux box from SuSE 8.2 to 9.2. An annoying thing
in Emacs is that since then, when I press the "Alt Gr" key on my (German)
keyboard, there is a beep. Otherwise, the key works fine.
This only occurs in emacs, all other applications perform fine. Can anybody
help?
Best wishes, Tilo Arens

Sure! Try 'xmodmap -pk' to determine your keyboard's new layout under
X, then make AltGr some modifier. 'xmodmap -pm' will show waht you
already have. Under the recent circumstances try in GNU Emacs 'C-h k'
and then press AltGr. Now you know what this key is doing to GNU Emacs.
Here is some syntax for a possible ~/.xmodmaprc:
! (for powerbooks, where enter is next to right Clover)
!!keycode 60 = Meta_R
!!keycode 69 = Meta_R
!!keycode 63 = Alt_L
!!keycode 66 = Meta_L
!!
!!clear Mod1
!!clear Mod2
!!
!!add Mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R
!!add Mod2 = Meta_L Meta_R
In ~/.xinitrc you can put:
xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
'man xmodmap' should help more.

The box said "Use Windows 95 or better," so I got a Macintosh
