I have had this problem too. My solution was that I had gpm running
along with X Windows and they did not seem to like each other.
Removed gpm from the rc files, rebooted and it worked fine.
Hope this helps.

Another data point.... I see erratic mouse behavior occasionally myself,
same as you describe. Usually if I switch back and forth between X and
Quake.
Tyan Tomcat III Dual p166mmx processors. I've seen this with nearly every
kernel I've ever ran (going wayyy back).
Ps/2 mouse, Xaccel 1.2 X server. I figured the ps/2 mouse stream was
getting
interrupted mid-packet and things didn't recover. Maybe you're having an
interrupt problem that exacerbating this?
I'd love to see it go away... could the mouse driver sense a "change of
stream
reader" and reinit the mouse? Or does that not make any sense at all...
