Peter,
this should really be in the FAQ. i had this problem until just
recently. you need to go into your XF86Config file and remove the #
from the RightAlt line.
# To set the LeftAlt to Meta, RightAlt key to ModeShift,
# RightCtl key to Compose, and ScrollLock key to ModeLock:
# LeftAlt Meta
RightAlt ModeShift
# RightCtl Compose
# ScrollLock ModeLock
