No luck - there weren't many temp files left after all the reboots I have been having to do. I found via Google the suggestion of changing to a different DE, so I downloaded xfce. The keyboard works in xfce, so I have a stop-gap solution for now. Thanks for all your help. I'll report back to the list what the result was when I tried Klistvud's suggestion. It sounds feasible and likely to be effective - but tedious! Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
