Thanks. Followed your instructions, Henry. Typing control-alt-F1 BEFORE log-in brought up the screen as you described in #2. He logged in, received the shell prompt and the keyboard worked as it should.
Typing control-alt-F1 AFTER log-in took him to his regular desktop and the keyboard did not function. Kim On 12/23/05, Henry House <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Would you try this please? > > 1.
