A crude way (untested) would be to map your right alt key to function like the
left alt key. I.e., you'd not have it for any other applications.
Assuming you don't mind this, find your keyboard layout file, which will
be somewhere like /etc/default.keyboard. There'll be a line like this in
the file:
keycode 100 = AltGr
. Replace it with
keycode 100 = Alt
. loadkeys is your friend here.
