That part clearly is coincidence, since I've just seen all three listed and it still wouldn't accept keyboard input. It seems I have a solution - but I don't quite understand it, so perhaps you could explain. I commented out the fstab cifs line, thinking I could add it again later when I've sorted things out. There was a long delay in booting, while the nfs mounts were said ot have failed. Then I saw 'Mounting other filesystems' succeed. When the desktop is fully loaded, dolphin tells me that all the nfs mounts AND the samba mount are working! Of course, why the screen scrambled the way it did is a separate issue, and I've no clue about that.
