It could of course be a hardware (mouse) problem, but I would like to know if anyone had any similar experience -- or has any black-magic procedure to make X "re-probe" the mouse...
Try Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7
I use this on our old KVM switch to revive the mouse after swapping terminals. I belive the "magic" part is that mouse control gets swapped from X through to gpm then back to X, both of which reinitialise the mouse.
