That's actually what alerted me to my problem.  I booted the machine,
fearing the worst, and was relieved that it came up to a login prompt.
But then I tried to log in, and it told me my password was incorrect.
Panic!  It just so happened that none of the letters in my username was
screwed up, but one in my password was.

I suppose that could be my problem.  How can I verify which key mapping
I currently have loaded?
