Subject: Mouse weirdness

OK, I give up. HELP!
I'm running 2.2.5 on some system, 2.2.19 on others. When I start X the
mouse (one of the later PS/2-USB hybrids) is fine, but at some point the
mouse decides that it's in a USB port and that's all she wrote. Even
text-mode mouse support is broken, causing all sorts of things including
what appears to be keystrokes. I can't get the mouse (Logitech) to reset
itself to PS/2 mode, and the ONLY solution is to reboot all the systems.
I don't think this is Linux-specific, as I have the problem with the
WinBlows box too.
Motherboards are Asus P5A-B.
Is there any way to tickle the Linux system to reset the mouse logic so
that the mouse would work again? (Don't say "unload the module" because
right now the PS/2 mouse support is compiled in, and customizing the kernel
generates other, unrelated problems with compilation.)
