Hi,
  Does anybody know how can I make alt work as Meta key instead of the
Esc key.
  I am working on winxp and using exceed to remote login to other
servers. My keyboard only supports Alt_R or Esc as Meta and not alt_L
there. xev even does not show any keycode for Alt_L.
  Appreciate help...

thanks,
Rajendra

That's Exceed's fault.  You have to configure it to send Meta from both Alt 
keys ... I'd help more but it's been years since I used Exceed.  And yet this 
silly default configuration still burns in my head ;)

Hi Scott,
  Thanks for hint. I got that working. I  configured exceed keyboard to
use Alt_L for exceed Alt and Alt_R as windows Alt.
