This may well be an upstream issue; I have recently begun to
encounter the same problem on a RHEL 5.1 workstation, using Synergy
and nVidia binary packages from rpmforge (synergy-1.3.1-2.el5.rf,
nvidia-x11-drv-1.0.9755-1.nodist.rf).
I first started seeing this issue last week, after a reboot;
unfortunately I'm not sure off the top of my head which packages I
had recently updated. Before last week the desired behavior (the
display waking from sleep upon mouse movement) was present.
