I saw an Altaruk custom map on the web, I believe Raddu saw it too, and the guy included a lot of data when he made it...but I have no idea where he took it.
What data is there on the town besides Dark Sun Campaign Setting, Bloodsand Arena, and Forest Maker, if anybody has stumbled on any? 2e DS included of course.

There's a little more info in Veiled Alliance (p88) - some basic info on Altaruk with details on the local VA.

My players recently spent about four months (real-time) in Altaruk, and I found the info on Altaruk in canon pubs spotty and even contradictory in places. It seems to be a little town, but the first map on the wiki Agonar posted depicts it as basically a fort with like 3 shops. The Ashes of Athas campaign information was really helpful for fleshing it out, and I also added a bunch of my own stuff.

I also detailed a bunch of Dragon's Altar stuff in the nearby Altaruk mountain range (as my players were in town investigating a secret payment of the Dragon's Levy).

Did Ashes of Athas contain Altaruk material? I would pay good money to have all the modules, apparently one thing that green grease cannot buy! In the above wiki the sources are quoted as ... Source Adventures: Bloodsand Arena and Sand Raiders. Supplement: Dark Sun Campaign Setting.
Anyone know what Sand Raiders is?

Large chunks of AoA is set in a nicely detailed Altaruk! I have the second volume and have a burning desire for the first (and 3-6 if the damn WOTC fight clears up!)

I think Sand Raiders is the small adventure in the back of the DS Campaign Setting? Don't have my books with me, sadly.

I'll be damned. It is the included adventure. The only new Altaruk info it provides is the name of the head of the Wavir trade post within Altaruk, and that his autorithy appears to be only second to Arisphistaneles (we conclude the same of the other two houses' trading posts and their heads).

as for AD&D material.
Slave Tribes includes a little here and there about which tribes operate in and around Altaruk, etc.
Dune Trader includes info on which Merchant houses operate around Altaruk
Veiled Alliance details alliance members in Altaruk, including Arisphistanales, Altaruk's leader who is a VA member.
City State of Tyr has a few mentions, again, mostly about trade houses and such around Altaruk.
I haven't gone through all of the material yet, but mostly I can just find minor mentions.. nothing actually detailing the city yet.
