Hi Duncan 


Right had time to fiddle for a while now  ..

I can get KDE up using "xinit startkde"   all fine but still no
keyboard or mouse  , so this seems it may be a kde based problem  have
to install and try another desktop to test this out .




PS if anyone else has any suggestions please pipe up  i am now getting
desperate to get this machine back up and running  have neither the
space or software on here to do what i need ..
