Well, it was worth a try and a good suggestion.    

The console-setup seems to be setting up the console for a CLI terminal OUT of 
KDE.   That I never had a problem with anyway....  the left cursor always 
worked at a main console level.   My problem is with KDE.

Doing the reconfigure did nothing for any keybd input under KDE,  konsole or 
not.

But thanks.
