FWIW, again
I believe this was mentioned early in this thread but....
For a while, 10 minutes or so, after boot up and login the switching to
tty consoles and back works as it should.  I ran and exited Thunderbird,
Firefox, Terminals and such during which I switched to a tty console and
then back.  Now I can get a console login but have no key board.
Switching back is hard because there is no visible mouse but eventually
I can get to highlight the user selection and log back in.
