In fact, it is likely _so_ basic that it was wrong... or at best "incomplete". You asked the right question though! I started digging into the whole xkb thing, was both disgusted and amazed simultaneously. Mostly at how ignorant I had been of just the whole complicated X keyboard mess going on behind my back. :-) In any event, I added: Option "XkbDisable" to my keyboard input section, and (Presto!) things were suddenly sane again. I tinkered with my modes in the mean time and things look a bit wonky, but I can actually get graphical display _and_ keyboard input now. Much progress. Now, as to why just straight disabling xkb makes things work, I really couldn't say yet. But it identifies a pretty likely culprit. At least now I can focus my frobbing towards XKB options and such. Like, maybe I need an Option XkbModel Dell101 or something... Thanks for the tips! jdl
