I occasionally have a similar problem, though I'm nearly certain it is a
problem with my KVM switch. Usually, just the mouse goes south. If this
is the case, I can switch to a virtual console and back to X and all is
well. I forget who pointed this out to me on the list. THANKS, who ever
you are.
I don't know if this will help you but, when both the KB and mouse go
off line, I can ssh in and kill and restart X.
