Hello,
I am sitting right in front a "normal" linux PC, I then ssh to a SGI
computer running IRIX. When running emacs (21.3.1) on the IRIX machine
I have problems with the Alt-Gr button.
When I press Alt-Gr [ to produce a "[" emacs beeps at me, *and*
inserts a "[", so it does work to some extent. However when trying to
search for "[" (with C-s) emacs beeps at the Alt-Gr button and then
*prints* the "[" (instead of searching for it).
I have spent a fair (far to much ...) amount of time tinkering with my
emacs setup - so this might be solely my own fault.
If anyone have a good tip I would be very grateful.
Best Regards
Joakim Hove

After you type "Alt-Gr [", type "C-h l" (that's a letter ell, not a
digit one) and see what character Emacs saw. That should give you a
hint about what is going on.

IRIX: <key-3> [ C-h l
Linux: [ C-h l
I.e. there emacs has seen spurious <key-3> before the "[". However I
must admit I am still at a loss for how to proceed.

I guess you need to review the keyboard setup of your SSH client,
since it seems to send an extra key when you press Alt-Gr. Isn't
there some setting of what Alt-Gr does in the SSH client's config?
