Maybe this gets us closer to the point:
Exceed uses a file called 'german.kbf' for input.
This is what I get from the XKey tool they use to edit these files
for AltGr:
Current X mapping for Key labeled ALT GR:
Scan code: 0x138 (ALT GR)
Unshifted Shifted ModeSwitch Shift Mode Switch
Keysym: ModeSwitch NoSymbol NoSymbol NoSymbol
Key State: Mod3

Sorry I am no expert at all in these things, but if you could give a
step by step instruction how to do this. I would be glad to help.
