Hi, I'm not subscribed, so you may cc me in replies. Just happened to
browse through the mailing list archives looking for a solution to this
problem.

I'm having the same problem; appeared after the last upgrade. Using
/dev/gpmdata in Xfree86 configuration stopped working, the mouse cursor
just stays there right after startup; reverting back to using /dev/psaux
instead of the gpm repeater results in mouse hanging randomly. Sometimes
it goes on for days and... anyway, exactly the same symptoms you have.
One thing triggers it for me reproducably: pressing the caps lock key
seems to always lock up the mouse.
I'm running kernel 2.4.13 if anyone's interested.
