Thanks, Dale, for the figurative "whack in the head"!  I knew about
interactive mode, but never even thought of it.   Doing this, I was able
to boot to a command line.  Then, I took Remy's advise and re-emerged
xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-keyboard-mouse.  Turns out that they both
needed updating.  This fixed everything.

Sorry, if I was a little terse.  I panicked.  I keep all responses to
problems I've posted in case I run into the same thing again.  So thanks
guys for coming though for me as always!

Regards,

Colleen
