Wee hee!  It gets weirder!

* Bizarrely enough, *some* of the keys on the keyboard actually work (such
as / * - + on the numeric keypad).

* I'm getting a load of errors in the slim.log file that look like this:
expected keysym, got XF86_Switch_VT_1 line 8 of xfree86


W  T  F  ? ! ?


Did you try googling for that error ?
For instance I felt on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=364932
which gives many things to check.

Yes of course. It came up with many links - none of which provided any useful help. Which is why I'm posting here.
