If the mouse still moves, I'd look first into software. Try to log into your machine either with a Linux console (CTRL-ALT+F1 or some other function key) or via ssh, as linux fan suggests. Try to locate some central gui program which might be misbehaving and kill it (gnome-panel or some such). If it were a hardware problem, the machine would most probably freeze completely or at least show non-repeatable symptoms. Cheers - t
