Gentlemen, it turns out on rainy days I cannot use the keyboard.
Too many keys "helping me type", no need for pets.
Fortunately one can (on a dry day, or with perhaps a hair dryer) install:
#/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/66-jidanni.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Bypassed Busted Keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
# IBM Example, but can't use symlinks
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event0"
Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection
allowing one to ignore the built-in keyboard, and only use a USB keyboard!
