I assume that the pointer is really frozen - not just the HW cursor not moving. It's possible that some app uses the xf86misc extension to change the mouse settings. Usually the logfile shows. It is also possible that the mouse is no longer sending data. You can check this by attaching strace to the Xserver from remote for example. The server should see a SIGIO whenever data becomes available.
