I found a post on a forum somewhere that mentions mouse problems where

I had thought that headers were added when a kernel update happens.
Found I didn't have headers for the present kernel, added them and I
have had no problems with the mouse since.... several hours now.
Now that this is posted, we'll see how long it lasts.

Interesting. Do you have a link to the forum?




Maybe not so interesting. I'm confusing issues. The OP's problem was with the nvidia driver - which also had caused me problems. Reverting to the 173 driver helped with my display problems but then the mouse began acting up.

Then I found the Xorg log with line about "requesting unpleasantly large amount of memory" and the bug report mentioning nvidia drivers. In a search about the proprietary drivers I found the link at the Ubuntu forums.
In any case the problem is not happening yet and all I did was install kernel headers.
Go figure.
