Thanks - it works! As far as getting into YaST, I mean. I disabled  
the firewall, but that didn't bring back VNC access this time.  
Perhaps I was just jumping to conclusions when I assumed that VNC  
access was connected with my disabling the firewall.

But what YaST function could I use to "restore the keyboard", and  
what caused it to vanish in the first place? I tried he Keyboard  
function i the Hardware applet, but that just contained same the  
default US settings as I had installed with.
