   (the Dark Side of the Force!). Having installed FreeBSD 2.0 I have
   come across two "problems" related to the console driver:

   1) How can I make the ALT key be a Meta key for Emacs? I have tried
   fiddling with my keymap and using kbdcontrol -l. I have succeded in
   getting M-b and M-f to work under Bash, but they (and M-x) do not work
   at all in Emacs. Surely someone must have done this already!? I am
   using the Emacs binarys from .../packages.

Works fine with NetBSD.
