Indeed it has the answer. I need to execute the command
xmodmap -e "clear mod4"
and there's no more Meta, so then Alt gets recognized. Although I couldn't get
this to be recognized inside a .Xmodmap nor a .xmodmaprc file, so I had to look
for what .xinitrc file was being executed (/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc on my Debian
3.0) and add that command in there.
