Re: Xfree86 and the Meta key (+patch)

The recent XFree86 recently broke the meta key for Emacs.
Some debian Xkb specialist worked on the problem and issued a patch. It has
been tested and we need to apply it before Debian sarge is release.

Are you saying that all releases of Emacs, including 21.3, will
not run correctly on current XFree86 ?

If that's true, we could be forced to to issue a 21.4 bug fix release
(based on 21.3) real soon !?

I run xorg 6.8.1 and don't see any problems.

Me too.  But it works only because Emacs does not find a Meta key and
then uses the Alt key as Meta. Thus you can't have both a Meta and an Alt.

There is no difference between 21.3 and CVS for this problem.
