           Summary: USB mouse freezes under X

Problem Description:

When using the mouse under X, it sometimes freezes up, responding to no further
input.  This does not affect keyboard interactions (but I have a PS/2 kbd, not a
USB one).  The problem can be "cured" by switching virtual terminals, or by
killing and restarting X.

Steps to reproduce:

Start X, open a few windows, waggle the mouse with vigour, preferably while
dragging a window around over other windows (though this is not necessary). 
Within a few seconds, the mouse should freeze.

The problem can take hours to manifest itself if the mouse isn't being used
much, but it always happens.
