Forget to mention: plugging in a USB input device and the built-in
keyboard works again
before plugging anything:
% DISPLAY=:0 xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Mouse id=7 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Keyboard id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
% DISPLAY=:0 xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Mouse id=7 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Keyboard id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ 0x1241 USB Keyboard id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
% DISPLAY=:0 xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Mouse id=7 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Keyboard id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
With keyboard:
% sudo lsusb

Bus 000 Device 007: ID 1241:1503 Belkin Keyboard
FWIW: plugging in a mouse does not enable the built-in
keyboard. However, the trackpoint stays useable even after
plugging and unpluggging a mouse
