My keyboard is a "Dynex" (i.e. economy store brand). with ethernet connected to an Apple Airport Express Thought I had posted a reply yesterday, but cannot see it, so apologies if this turns up twice. It seems my fundamental problem was one of power. Plainly the powered USB hub I was using was close to useless - or worse than that, delivered enough power to boot the RasPi but not enough to run any peripherals. Now have a working keyboard and network connection but the mouse is stuck in the top left hand corner. I will look at the various solutions suggested for that and see if I can get it work properly.
