Maya in Linux- the "Alt" problem

[DezFX]

This is because by default Linux is set-up to map the Alt key to dragging the active window that is under your pointer around the desktop. You need to navigate to your window preferences and tell Linux to use "Super (Windows Logo)" for dragging the window instead of the Alt key. Exactly where this setting is located is different for every distro of Linux so if you can let us know what Linux distro you are using maybe someone with that same distro can give you click-by-click instructions.

For Fedora Core 2 it's located under "Red Hat > Preferences > Windows".
