i'm reaching here, but take a look at your "dumpkeys" output.  i've
included mine below.  notice this bit:

| keycode  52 = period           greater         
| 	alt	keycode  52 = Meta_period     
| 	shift	alt	keycode  52 = Meta_greater    

(and, yes, my box accepts M-> in console mode.) 

also, tell us exactly what version of the kernel you're running, as
well as the version of the distribution.  i'm using linux 2.4.6 on
redhat 7.1+errata (2001-07-01 KRUD).
