Try running "xev" and putting the pointer in the white window that's brought up then pressing the alt key and see what is generated. This will at least tell you if X is seeing the key. Also try the alt key on the other side of the keyboard (assuming you have one). If it sees the key then you can use xkeycaps to change the modifiers on keys.
