What type of mouse do you have? Is it possible that the protocol you
are using isn't quite right for the mouse? If so, perhaps it screws
the mouse up until its power is cut. That may be a totaly rediculous
idea--I don't know if it's even possible with mouse circuitry. I know
that I have some USB devices that will sometimes get screwed up and I
have to either shut the power to the computer off or unplug the
devices in order to fix them.
Do you have similar problems at the console? If it is solely an X
problem, do you have the latest XFree86 updates?
Sorry I don't have any answers for you, but maybe you can find a clue
in one of those questions. :)
