I'd like to add that I am experiencing random mouse freezes as well. I just built a new system with an ASUS M3N78 Pro motherboard, AMD Phenom 9650, and 8GB RAM. I am using the onboard Geforce 8300 video card. I am using a Logitech cordless keyboard and mouse, of which the keyboard is USB and the mouse plugs into the purple PS2 keyboard port. I have done a fresh install of Jaunty and have installed the Nvidia drivers v180. The problem with the mouse freeze is easily reproducible -- just install Nexuiz and try playing it. The mouse will freeze in just a few seconds. Keyboard etc continues to work without problems. This can also be accomplished by watching video (such as movie trailers from Apple's site) in Totem.
I have done plenty of Google searching and, like Josh2112, have found many reports of problems specifically with this setup. I have installed the Nvidia drivers v185 from Brandon Snider's PPA (http://ppa.launchpad.net/brandonsnider/ppa/ubuntu) but this did not help. I have also played around with disabling legacy USB support in the BIOS, and setting NVreg_EnableMSI=1 for the nvidia module. None of this has helped, in fact enabling MSI for the Nvidia driver causes graphic artifacting which leads to a locked system that must be powered off and CMOS cleared. Any workarounds I have seen suggested (such as using a PCI-based USB card and/or video card) are not ideal. As mentioned, this is a new system with a fresh install. I am not currently using it for any day-to-day tasks as the mouse freeze problem is a real show stopper. I am willing to adjust configs, reinstall etc as needed in order to help troubleshoot this problem. It is extremely frustrating.
