Somewhere (I can't remember where, and couldn't find it again when googling) I found a way to do it without recompiling. I believe the solution was to issue a "reset" command to the serio device... something like echo -n "reset" > /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio0/drvctl but.. I'm not sure if "reset" was the right command.. but I think drvctl was the right place to send the command.
