x-0.log log complains that xkbcomp reports Multiple names for keycode 155
and other related warnings. I had (USB) keyboard/mouse dongle inserted in
an effort to see if my primary kbd/mouse was a problem. Rather than
commenting on the messages currently in the x-0.log. I'm going to unplug
the dongle, make another go of it. Then report my findings.

Thank you very much for all your time, and effort!
