You could try poking about in /sys/bus
The backlight level is set via
/sys/bus/platform/devices/omapfb/panel/backlight_level
And you should be able to check for usb keyboard too. I've also got a feeling that a visible cursor for use with a mouse is possible. Mouse input works, it's just you can't see where your mouse is pointing.

I don't think your statement is correct about the USB mouse. I connected a USB trackball to my 770 and opened the "sketch" utility. I did lots of clicking and dragging and never saw anything.
Or I might have misunderstood your comment. Let me know if you want me to try something.

But for some reason the 770 does not recognize the keystrokes as input. It simply keeps going to sleep as I type.
Any suggestions? Is there a way to get it to recognize the keystrokes as input and stay awake? Is there a script that gets executed when you connect the USB that I could mess with the screen dimming characteristics?

There IS one temporary solution to the dimming problem: you can modify the dim and blank times in the control panel. You can even turn off dimming and blanking altogether. See this thread:
