I have also had this problem from time to time. I am using a Logitech Connect Mouse (RF), and a KVM switch (with USB to PS/2 adapter), which may actually make a difference.
Following a tip in the Ubuntu forums, I entered these two line in a terminal when it was misbehaving: sudo rmmod psmouse (here you will lose the mouse, so don't expect to copy/paste the next line) sudo modprobe psmouse rate=100 proto=imps This made the mouse behave normally. I then changed the mouse type in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to ExplorerPS/2 (from ImPS/2), and restarted X using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. It's working OK now, but I can't be sure this last change fixed anything, as it seems to be intermittent. Hope this helps.
