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
