My complaint was about having a system with basically no keyboard. I had to unplug mine without a proper shutdown. That is my complaint. It should at least have a fall back or something. Heck, running xorgconfig again would have been better than this mess. I wonder if that would work? I do recall at one time that the GUI would not start if no mouse was found. Wonder what happened there? No, I don't have another machine to ssh in. I wish I did. It's have a working keyboard or hit the reset button/pull the plug. Nether is a good option. I bought a nice UPS to prevent this sort of mess. Dale :-) :-)
