The patch uncomment some useful tracing code. What is the output of
texmacs on the console (i.e. in the terminal where you started it)
when using Alt and AltGr?

Here, I have:

[a] -> Mod2-a
[Alt-a] -> Mod2-Mod1-a
[AltGr-a] -> Mod2-ae

Note that Mod2 is NumLock. If I disable numlock the mod2 goes away.

Also, what is your keyboard configuration (in your
~/.TeXmacs/system/preferences.scm)? Here I have:

("A" "default")
("H" "default")
("M" "default")
("alt" "default")
("caps-lock" "default")
("meta" "default")
("windows" "default")

In case of doubt, removing this file and restarting texmacs should
restore default values.

Maybe you need some special configuration in
"Edit->Preferences->Keyboard->{A,H,M} modifier".

By default, texmacs tries to be smart and processes the output of
xmodmap. See kbd-config.scm lines 24--46. Perhaps this part is
confused on your system. What is the output of xmodmap on your system?
