I hope you don't mind but I posted your reply to me on the mailing list so the information can be captured and hopefully used by others.
Glad that worked. It is interesting that you had this problem without using a kvm. I believe up to now all the reports of this type of problem involved a kvm switch.
There was another patch posted in the last week for these types of problems. A test patch for the mouse code in the kernel. If you have any other problems you may want to try that.
Also it would be good to know what type of motherboard you are using.
One quick question for Rob: How long has it been since you changed the batteries in your trackman? I have seen eratic behavior like this with this and other wireless pointing devices without a KVM when the batteries are low.
Another possibility, though it may not apply to your situation, is multiple wireless keyboard/mouse trancievers in close proximity.
