Here is something that might be of interest to the bug trackers: I am facing the same problem on an HP dv6 touchpad. On my laptop, this problem seems correlated with another problem with my wifi button. My wifi button does not work on my laptop after I log in - somehow I have to press the button before I get to the login screen if I want to activate my wifi. I have noticed that on the occasion that I need to use wifi, whenever I activate the button, my mouse pointer may freeze from the login screen onwards. This problem goes away after I reboot twice or thrice.
