Yeah, ditto.

If you're using gpm and not piping the mouse data through /dev/gpmdata 
and then using /dev/gpmdata as the mouse device in X, the mouse will 
stop working after a while in X. Switching out to a text VT or telneting 
in and stopping gpm fixes the problem.

Note that's _gpm_, the text-console mouse deamon, not _gdm_, the Gnome 
Display Manager. I always need to think for a second when I see either.. 8)
