I saw this just today (ps/2 M$ mouse). I restarted the Xserver, and it
worked again. I believe it is gpm interfering somewhere (although this
is OK on my homebox [Logitech serial mouse]).

Shut down gpm before starting X (/etc/init.d/gpm stop). I heared you
can use a special device in XF86Config make gpm also manage the mouse
in X, but I can't find any pointer about this right now, so better
stay with the first solution :-)
