How to make "C-M-v" to work on i386 linux?

If I split in two windows, I want to be able to scroll the other window 
using C-M-v . I'm using a regualar i386 pc keybord and Crtl-Alt-v combo 
doesn't work. I don't wnat to settle for ESC Ctrl-v or M-x 
scroll-other-window.

I think you have five options:

- another X server
- another key combination
- another keyboard
- another GNU Emacs
- build GNU Emacs yourself with prepared C header files for X11

Combining many keys to create one key event is a function that your X11 
server does. To do so it needs definitions in its C header files. GNU 
Emacs, as any other X client, is using this capability. I too think 
that there are keyboards that cannot report that three or more keys are 
pressed together -- who would do that voluntarily?

Have you checked what is returned when you first do 'M-x global-set-key 
<your key combination> RET' and then C-x Esc Esc 
(repeat-complex-command)? Is there some numerical value reported to 
which the function is bound? If so this statement can be put into your 
.emacs file ...

Are you talking about Emacs on the Linux console or in X Window?
