Two things:
The protocol as defined in the /etc/X11/XF86Config Mouse section is wrong. 
Unlikely because it has been working.
A wire in the cable has broken. They are not everlasting and the continual 
flexing eventually hardens the copper which then breaks. Happened to me more 
than one over the years.

Buy an optical mouse and buy yourself a different set of problems.

it has forged the e-mail headers on someone else's machine.
Please do not notify me when this occurs. Thanks.
