This bug is not new to the actual unstable version, it started a few months ago.Could you save your Xorg.0.log after starting gdm when everything works fine, and save it again when the problem occurs, and compare them? Also, does anything appear in dmesg or so?

Does unplugging/replugging the mouse help?
I made a test without any external plugged mouse, I use the internal one (I work on laptop).
