This was reported on the stable list in mid July.  Look for the
subject line 'lost mouse when switching back to X'.

It appears to be a bug in XFree86-4.0.1, and a patch around the
problem was proposed by Sascha Blank <sblank@addcom.de> in message
Id <20000718172452.A8300@ally.blank.de>.  We've tried the patch
here and it does indeed fix the problem.
