I had a similar problem before, and wasn't sure what the problem was. however I found that disabling gpm resolved the problem. After further investigation, i found that on some motherboards, if the mouse is set up as a PS2 mouse, but is in actual fact a USB then this problem occurs. I resolved it by dissabling gpm (chkconfig --level 345 gpm off), then starting up and configuring the mouse (redhat-config-mouse service-config-mouse) and making sure it was USB, then re-enabling gpm every thing worked fine.
