Sebastien - I'm pretty sure I was able to glean the information from stuff on the internet, but doing "xinput list" and seeing it there certainly confirmed it. Finding error messages in xkl functions also helped. Others say this isn't their issue though.

This works about 95% of the time. This is a laptop that always gets this error on boot up and only has one screen, no docking station, so its not anything related to screen size I should think.
