I found that removing anything having to do with mouse in my xorg.conf
helped this issue. Depending on some very specific mouse stuff (I know
it is an issue with my Dell D620 but I don't know why) you may find
upgrading or downgrading the kernel will help as a bug was introduced at
some recent point. In Gentoo I think it was 2.6.23-something but with
the way all these stupid distros backport random patches I have no idea
what Ubuntu versions may be affected.
Summary:
1.) remove mouse stuff from xorg.conf, all of it
2.) if 1 doesn't work, change kernel versions.
My 0.01 (it ain't worth two cents)
