I never know from one session to the next whether I have an input device: both 
the keyboard and the touchpad are often not working (Asus eee pc 1000 trying 
gamely to run 9.04 netbook remix)  I'm writing you now because , inexplicably, 
both are working.
If I boot into generic while alternately pressing the Pause/Break and 
PrtSc/SysRq keys, thus extending the length of the boot, this will usually 
ensure that the keyboard will respond well enough to allow me to tab into 
Recovery Mode, and occasionally will allow the keyboard to work with a simple 
Resume Normal Reboot.   When I am allowed to tab, 4 times out of 5 running any 
option (Fix Broken Packages, say) ensures that I will have the use of the 
keyboard throughout the session.  Nothing seems to ensure the use of the 
touchpad--today's gooddd fortune might be due to having updated the grub at 
root (sudo su...then update-grub...reboot)  I've updated the grub menu before; 
we'll see how long this lasts.
xorg.conf is just a dummy file; all the drivers seem to be associated with a 
generic configuration file. I can't invoke gsynaptic even though I add a file 
that was supposed to supply SHMconfig=on (as per some online advice)
Seriously, keeping this thing running is becoming something between Voodoo and 
deep tissue massage...nothing's rational!
I'll take any and all help I can get, even supercilious insult would be welcome.
