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.
