Harry, is it a wheel mouse, or a normal mouse? They use different
drivers in X --- pick the wrong one and the pointer will meander
around to its hearts content at the gentlest of nudges. As ever, I
can't remember what the driver is called. Hmph!

The other thing that springs to mind is to ask whether gdm is running,
cos I've had odd interactions between that and X before.

Also ctl-alt-backspace is a handy shortcut for killing X (though you
know this already, I suspect)

Cheers,

Simon
