I don't know about the orinoco driver, but I do sometimes also  
experience the mouse problem, and have posted to the list regarding  
it.  There's nothing I've found to prevent the mouse from getting  
stuck, but I believe it's something to do with floating point math,  
maybe the FPU isn't being reset properly, or isn't presenting the  
right rounding behavior (IEEE-754 vs "fast mode").  It's an annoyance  
I've learned to live with, but would still like solved.
