Emacs started as expected but the Alt (Meta) key wasn't working. So I couldn't do 'Alt-x' to do 'M-x' (so I had to do Esc-x instead). Similarly other key combinations involving Alt key didn't work either (Alt-v, Alt-f etc). Does anyone know why this is happeing or how to fix this? -- Abhisek Paira E34E 825B 979E EB9F 8505 F80E E93D 353B 7740 0709 "There is no system but GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels."
