I ran into this behavior several months ago on a Power Computing machine.
Eventually I either gave up or upgraded to xserver 4.1.x, which has much
better support for powerpc hardware.
Anyway, ISTR at the time that it was a bistable thing... I could use
Control-Opt/Alt-Backspace when the mouse froze to restart X, and when
it restarted it would have a mouse. Then if I did it again, it would
go back to frozen.
Upgrade soon! :-)
