There's a special ADB command to send to the keyboard to reverse them. I beleive one day, I'll have to write a /proc entry for setting that along with the trackpad tapping features ;) In the meantime, I beleive the proper ADB sequence is somewhere in the list archives, I can eventually try to figure it out again next week if there is great interest.
