This sounds very much like it’s not happy with the mouse driver in Xorg (since the pointer function is essentially a mouse). Have you tried simply switching away from the GUI screen and back again (e.g. <ctrl><alt><f1> and <ctrl><alt><f7>)?
A Smartboard is a device used in classrooms and the like, it’s basically an electronic whiteboard with virtual pens and a projector to sync what’s ‘written’ on the screen with what’s displayed. They’re very cool, but they’re very touchy (no pun intended). By way of disclaimer, I’ve not actually played with a SmartBoard under Linux, so I’m totally guessing here.
