I would get rid of one of these 2 sections. if your using
a PS/2 mouse get rid of the second section.
Also check to be sure GPM is not running, I reccomend removing
it completely unless you have a specific use for it:
apt-get remove gpm

your using the nv driver not the nvidia driver? Question: does
the mouse freeze or does the whole X session freeze? that is,
can you CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to kill/restart X or not? If not,
then maybe its a nv driver bug.

I'd also remove the Generic Mouse entry from above to corrispond
with the removal of the section
And I reccomend backing up your config file before doing this
so you can undo it easily if needed.
Also are you using a KVM? many KVMs don't like wheels. even my
KVM which the manual says it supports wheels, I've only got it
to run with a wheel once or twice, and the rest of the time the
wheel doesn't seem to work. so I hookup a 2nd pointer, a cordless
USB trackball to my main desktop so I can use the wheel on it.
