The described behavior for Alt_R is the behavior documented by Microsoft for
that key on non-US enhanced keyboards.
I need to know if a Linux box with a non-US enhanced keyboard generates the
same messages for Alt_R. If Linux generates the same messages for Alt_R,
then the messages are generated by the keyboard and the behavior is correct;
if Linux generates different messages for Alt_R, then the messages that you
see are generated by Windows and I will need to modify the message sequence
for Alt_R.

Hi Harold,
I downloaded your test 14, I´m not sure if it is test14 because a versioning
on your announcement page is missing. It would be helpfull to set a filename
like XWin_test14.exe or something else :-)
X starts fine and I cannot use the alt_left key. I used xev to see the
keycodes and the alt_R looks strage, I´m not sure, but here is my output of
xev, maybe it will help:
