[Wylug-help] X Keyboard Oddness

Hi All!

Okay, I'm beaten.... how do you get X to accept entry of characters via
the numeric keypad with Alt held, like Windows does. It works at the
console, but I can't get it to work in X.

In an xterm, it ignores the Alt key, and I just get the numeric keys echoed.
In Mozilla, nothing happens at all.

I have a debian box running an Internet kiosk, and the keyboard isn't a
standard type. There's an "at" symbol key, which sends Alt-064 which I
need to get working.

Any ideas anybody?

James
