Mouse lockups in X.org w/ ATI

[Todd Simi]

I have a mouse problem, but I am using NVidia, and it happens with a
Microsoft USB Optical Mouse as well as a Microsoft PS/2 ball mouse.

With mine, the mouse_over and mouse clicks stop working.

I have found that sometimes ALT-TAB will reactivate it.

Also, the problem doesn't affect non-optical mice.  I have a Dell 
branded USB mouse which works properly.

I'll try to get my hands on another brand of optical mouse later, and 
see if it's specific to the Logitech brand.
