Comment(by theplaz):

 It reset itself for some reason.

 This time I will log commands:  This lists out the keymap table
 xmodmap -h
 xmodmap -pk

 Alt_L is key 64; The left hand key (Super_L) is 133 (not 127 - where did I
 get that #??)

 The first command removes the left Alt key from service, and the 2nd one
 reassigns it to the left "hand".

 However after a restart, both the hand and alt key act as an alt key.  Is
 there anyway to run the command every time at boot.  (I know there is, but
 I am a Linux noob)  Could someone provide step-by-step instructions?
 Would cron do it?
 xmodmap -e "keycode 64 ="
 xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = Alt_L"
