You can remap rightAlt to Hyper or super.
xmodmap -e "keycode 108 = Hyper_L" ; xmodmap -e "add mod4 = Hyper_L"
In my keyboard right alt is keycode 108, but that depends on your keyboard layout.
You can look at keysymdef.h for the keynames.
#define XK_Super_L 0xffeb /* Left super */
#define XK_Super_R 0xffec /* Right super */
#define XK_Hyper_L 0xffed /* Left hyper */
#define XK_Hyper_R 0xffee /* Right hyper */
Hyper and Super modifiers will be seen inside emacs. Use C-h l (view lossage)
If it is mapped ok, pressing RighAlt-a you should see
H-a C-h l
Your window manager might be catching the Hyper-a combination before it arrives to emacs.
If so, use super instead of hyper.
Once this works you can customize RightAlt-a in elisp as
(global-set-key (kbd "H-a") 'function)
or (kbd "s-b") for super.
Note that you map it to a function. I don't think you can remap it to C-x
The problem with all this is that applications outside emacs will not see
AltGr anymore.
