What does it do ? Simulate a console under X ? That might explain it.

You are seeing a US keyboard. This makes it very probable, that you did not
correctly load the .de_de keymap.
The two common errors are: 
1. Not loading it at all and
2. Loading it before _ANY_ other X client runs. The X server will reset,
when all clients disconnect, so be sure to _first_ start something that
will last, like the windowmanager, then some stuff like xmodmap.

This is very weird. Please check the general setup of keyboard

If you are on a US keybaord, they are both Alt, so no access to special
keys, which aren't mapped on a us-kbd either.

Also check, that you have the latest version of the .de_de file.

It should contain : keycode 119     = Mode_switch

which is the AltGr Mapping.
