>From time to time my mouse starts acting weird. The pointer still moves
as expected but on clicks it reacts as if the position didn't change
(i.e. wherever I click, the reaction stays the same.)

Since this happens in KDE as well as in XFCE, I think this bug is in
xorg or hald. But I'm not quite sure where exactly.

I'm running an up-to-date kubuntu 9.10 (amd64).

edit: Got some additional information:
GDM won't start. It just pops up a message that says it won't start due to the Error "(EE) HID 046a:0023: failed to initialize for relative axes.". 
046a:0023 is my keyboard. It has no axis. ("Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046a:0023 Cherry GmbH Cymotion Master Linux Keyboard")
KDM starts without an error message.

The mouse position seems not to be caught at one point but at an area (i.e. a textarea in a chatprogram or the menu of a window).
As I tried to describe: The visible pointer is not caught at all. But when I click it reacts as if it was in the area where it's caught.

I have no idea how to trigger the bug. It happens while watching movies
or typing (it just happened while I wrote this). It once even happened
directly after the login.
