That's what I assumed. But then how do you explain their apparent

this kernel above? Both ADBKEYCODES and keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes
were set! I assume that one (ADB?) has taken precedence over the other.

Speaking only for myself, I would have liked even a gaudy banner
warning me that mis-configurations of this (with respect to the
kernel) could cause you to have to type-in '2==3' (or something
equally weird) for 'root'. Then I would have known that both kernel
and conole* packages need to be looked into as culprits.
I'm sorry that I can't be of substantial help. I am yet to sift thru
all the past observations, so as to draw a *solid* conclusion about
how/why things happened. Perhaps after some reflection I can weed out
the conflicting observations.
I'll be glad to help with any questions you might have, though, about
eg my setup.
thanks,
ali
