I am having problems with the ps2 mouse on my system sporadically
``hanging'' (the cursor stops moving).  The keyboard is still
active, and the Xinside server is still working when this
happens.  The only solution that seems to un-hang it is to
exit and restart.  This happens once or twice a day.  Very
annoying.

This smells very similar to a lost-interrupt kind of problem.  Has
anyone else seen this?  Is there any fix?
