A few weeks ago I had the same problem with debian 3.0 and Xfree 4.1.
The mouse jumped aruond like a mad dog and was uncontrollable. This seems
to be a problem of gpm.

I killed gpm and all was fine. I added the line
killall gpm
to my X start scripts, so ervery time, X is starting, gpm is going to be
killed.
It's just a workaround, but it works on my machine.

Try it.

Best regards,
