I've had my mouse pointer jam up on Debian which was released only
by unplugging the mouse or its usb hub, and then replugging. (to be
precise, a trackball from Logitech)
I got another trackball with a wireless interface to deal with the
cable length problem. When it jams up now, its mechanical, because
holding the thing upside down and shaking, solves the problem.
Do try another brand of mouse.
