doh sorry .. switch to the text console and switch back to X .. it
re-inits the mouse I think... it only happens me say once a week or so..
and that is on a Fedora Core 1 system..

console mouse service.. for using the mouse in text mode ...

Redhat->System Settings->Server Settings->Services
untick the gpm box and save changes... also hit stop on it ...
