It has been offline for a few days due to bust PSU, but got the replacement PSU today and after three hours fighting to get the box to boot at all (one removed GFX card and one removed HD later) - 'c' and 'e' in KDM, GDM and any other bootmanager I tried would not work. So messed about with XF86Config-4 a bit, and what I found was, change your kbd def from pc105 to pc102 and you'll find the keys spring back into life... Bizarre.. /A
