Could it be from static electricity? I had problems like that due to
shocking the mouse by accident. Try unplugging the mouse, and plugging

computer now.

Reinserting does not help.
So far, all I can do when it happens is reboot.

It occurs both on PS2 and USB, with different mice.

So to me it seems the mouse handling in X is doing something quirky.
And no, restarting X does not help either.
