101 keys, is that one that has got no windows keys on it, i.e. only an
Alt on the left and one on the right of the space bar? IIRC than there's no
Meta key defined. Emacs has a special feature to use Alt as Meta if there's no
Meta key, cause Meta is what you need most (besides Ctrl) in emacs.
If that is the case I'd suggest to change one of your Alt keys to Meta
(see xmodmap).
