OK. What packages were upgraded? The log in /var/log/dpkg should help you here. Obviously, look for any packages related to the keyboard. Being a point release, quite a lot of activity in there but nothing obvious. You could consider upgrading to wheezy, it will be the new stable in a few months anyway It had always been my intention to do so soon anyway, however, if I wanted to do a reinstall after my system was broken by an "update", I'd just go back to M$. Frankly, this experience has me questioning what has gone wrong in the development team, and if a simple point release can break a system so comprehensively, why I shouldn't just go onto Sid and keep regular clonezilla images. Not real impressed right now, particularly by the "upgrade to wheezy" comment. Thanks for the suggestions though, I do appreciate them.
