This has always been somewhat of a problem when both machines were running 2.4 but there was a workaround. If I switched consoles (alt-F1, alt-F7) then the mouse would restore back to correct behaviour. Now, on my test machine running 2.5 the mouse works until I do a KVM machine swap. Then the 2.5 machine never clears up the mouse wackiness and the only choice is to reboot. The mouse is a Logitech optical mouse with a wheel "Wheel mouse". The mouseconfig is the same on both machines. The KVM is a Belkin four port. Probably the simplest is to buy another mouse or switch to USB...
