Hello, TechnoGuy458.

It's indeed possible. You'll need the specs for the keyboard of your
portable, the "sym" name of the keys (or something like that), xev, and
a lot of patience. (Because there is no GUI for that.)

I did it for a MacroHard keyboard a couple of years ago. Would I do it
again? No. It's simpler to configure the Alt keys, etc., with the
keybinding utility offered by ROX-Filer or your window manager (jwm,
openbox, pekwm, etc.).

There's also a nice little program which you can run at the beginning of
your session and which does only that. (Name escapes me just now.)*
This one has sort of a GUI, btw.

BFN.
