Seems to happen with kdm and gdm (the GNOME version), and I've noticed that if I log in and log out real fast, it's fine.
For more detail, see http://bugs.debian.org/113022 but the best workaround I know of is to ctrl-alt-F1 to switch to the console, then alt-F7 back to X, and *dm will crash and restart itself with the mouse working. It's some funny state X gets into which makes this crash happen, and it doesn't happen otherwise, but it's convenient to make this workaround work. Maybe this information will help guide someone to a fix. :-) >PS: what's the command debconf invokes to build an >XF86Config-4?
