This is a wild stab in the dark, but in the past I've had weird problems with mice (sometimes on KVMs, some laptop touch pads, some 
just plain mice) and was able to resolve the issues by using the 'psmouse.proto' boot parameter.  I've had a lot of luck by 
appending 'psmouse.proto=imps' to the kernel line in grub.conf.  The mouse-related options, along with a LOT of other goodies, are 
documented in the kernel-parameters.txt file in the kernel docs.  Of course, your mileage may vary. ;^)
