Package: xserver-xorg-core Version: 1.7.7-8 On my IBM ThinkPad T41 laptop, the mouse is sporadically grabbed. I usually use a Logitech USB mouse. The graphics card is a "ATI Radeon RV250"
When it happens, dmesg says nothing interesting. Nor does anything appear in syslog or messages. The bug appears to be the same as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg- server/+bug/41301/+index?comments=all Turning off acpi as suggested by comment #16 on that page appears to help the situation for me, but I was still able to reproduce the problem. I reproduced this on older versions of Xorg and linux (kernel), so it's not totally new. I can't cause the problem to occur, but I'm happy to try stuff you suggest when it does.
