I remember having problems with this way way back with an early version of the nvidia drivers for my tnt2 card. The relevant option is HWCursor in your XF86Config-4 file (assuming you're using xfree 4.x, and I'm also not sure if it's an nvidia specific option). Try toggling its value. Does restarting X solve your problem? are you running gpm and using it to send mouse events to X? I generally find gpm to cause problems with everything ever (well, specifically I can't use directfb apps with it). I would also be fascinated if restarting X did not solve your problem, since X (as far as I know) has its own drivers for input devices which would be restarted every time you restart X.
