Sometimes I find this kind of thing happens with my KVM, especially when
booting one box. I found that all I need to is stop X, and remove and reload
the mouse driver in the kernel, then restart X and all is okay. Something
like:
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
sudo rmmod psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
Obviously you will need to adjust for your X login session and the actual
mouse module for your kernel. It may be possible to do this without
restarting X, but it I've not tried that.
