Same symptoms : under the console, C-h l shows nothing at all when I 
press Alt + Shift combinations. It's as if I had pressed no key at all.

Under X, I get M-> or M-3, and in the xterm I get ESC > or ESC 3.

Alt alone works fine though. Alt + "<" in the console does M-< and goes 
to the beginning of the buffer.

So could the problem be outside emacs ? obviously emacs is not getting 
any key when I press Alt + Shift. I have TERM=linux in the console.
