Interesting. I have a keyboard from Sun. Turns out, it
says "Alt" on the Meta key, but it has the Meta key
behaviour and I don't remember configuring that.

I run Emacs in a Linux VT (a tty, or "the console") but
the Meta key works fine. As for Esc I have that to the
left of F1 (in the normal place I would assume) so that
would be a pain having to move the left hand from
typing position all the time. I think (and someone on
this list confirmed this with a cool image) that the
Esc solution for Emacs has historical roots when the
paleo-keyboards had Esc somewhere else. (Get back to
you on this when I find that old post.) But perhaps you
re-routed Esc for Caps Lock?

Absolutely positively.
