Hi there,
I tried to configure my right alt on my macbook not to behave as a
numeric enter but to behave as a right alt.
I tried putting this into .Xmodmap, following
http://www.edwardotis.net/tech/?p=224
$ cat .Xmodmap
keycode 66 = Alt_L
clear Mod1
add Mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R
and running
~$ xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range
for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 118 (X_SetModifierMapping)
Value in failed request: 0x17
Serial number of failed request: 13
Current serial number in output stream: 13
What am I doing wrong?
Also, I tried to look for this, following

Go to SYSTEM > PREFERENCES > KEYBOARD
Then choose the LAYOUTS tab.
There is a button down there called LAYOUT OPTIONS, click it!
Expand the KEY TO CHOOSE 3RD LEVEL options.
And select the option PRESS ENTER KEY ON KEYPAD TO CHOOSE 3RD LEVEL.

But this seems to be valid only on an old, 9.04 Ubuntu, I have 13.04.
How can I use my right alt as a right alt, i.e. Alt Gr?
