In Xfce, I was looking at the settings for the mouse and clicked the button to

the only useful one.  Is there a key combination that will activate the arrow 
keys to move the cursor so I can pull down the menus and switch the mouse back 
on?
Aside from what I said....

You can also ssh into the system, if you can, and edit the file...

~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/pointers.xml

find the appropriate line

<property name="Device_Enabled" type="int" value="0"/>

and change the value to "1"


Thanks.  That made it simple as switching to a different screen and desktop allows the edit.
